Tracing my sketch
I had such a great time on the 29th painting in Muse’s front window for the Artist a Day program! It was a nice sunny day, I had an awesome view of the street, all the supplies were already set up for me, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Jolie Guillebeau interviewed me and the staff took pictures of my work throughout the day to show the progression. I’ve included the interview below but here is a link to the article and all the pictures from that day.

Below is my interview with Jolie Guillebeau from the 29th.
Chantel Greene is all about the space where art and science connect. Before she studied art, she was a Biology major in college. Then her art was mostly diagrams of dissections or microscope illustrations.
She’s enthusiastic about patterns in plant cells, or human anatomy diagrams. So when she began painting she worked to figure out ways to incorporate these things in to her encaustic work.
So she creates delicate detailed drawings that she layers in to the wax. She works quickly, because as she says,” I like to be done with the painting before I lose the momentum of the ideas.”
Chantel is eager to talk and share her work and passion for science and painting– stop by and see her piece at Muse, and see more of her work at www.chantelgreene.com
My finished piece from Muse, ready for bidding.
