From the darkness comes light, and Claire Osborn is there to capture it with her paintbrush. Take in the creativity and artistry that runs through Osborn’s exhibition, “Deep and Wide: A Creation Study,” on display at the Artport Gallery through March 20.
Daily practice provides peace
To commit to a daily practice of any kind is to commit to oneself. Whether arriving on your yoga mat or perching in front of a blank canvas, the mindfulness one can obtain from such meditative practices is transformative.
For painter Claire Osborn, establishing a daily practice has given her a profound sense of the joy of creating. Her goal is not necessarily to create something from start to finish within a set timeframe, but instead, to show up and practice.
“My home studio is in the middle of our house, so it’s very easy to access. This means that sometimes my dogs brush their tails through a wet painting or my son draws over a drawing,” Osborn said. “It often involves the whole family, but making art is a daily priority.”
