Georgina Buentiempo

Don’t know much about embroidery artist Georgina Buentiempo but we do like her work.  We also know she likes hand embroidery boards, scissors, black thread and El Corazón.

You can find the artist on Facebook and Instagram.  Her hand embroidered hoops and accessories can be purchased on her Etsy shop, LaBuentiemperia.

Louis Reith

Loving the geometric compositions of Dutch illustrator/designer/artist Louis Reith. The Amsterdam-based artist create drawings, collages, paintings and installations.  The abstract compositions are linked to his fascination with every aspect of the printed book.  On an interview with LVL3 he says this about his process:

“It really depends on what I’m working on. The source material for my collages is derived from vintage books, in which not only subject and size play a role, but also the printing technique and color. The books are stripped from their covers and subject to observant deconstruction. What remains are loose pages and spreads that are processed, with their actual compositions as a coincidental starting point. It’s really about observing, shifting, thinking and taking time, letting it rest before I make the final decisions.”

More of his work can be viewed on his website and on Instagram.

Donald Maier (1947 – 2015)

In 1968 Donald Maier graduated from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, in Newark, New Jersey. He is well known for his watercolor and oil paintings of western landscape and the desert.  He has had numerous one-man shows and has exhibited in many fine galleries.  During the cooler months he would focus on everyday urban settings using dry pastels. We were so drawn to these pastel drawings that we decided to post them.

Much of his work can be viewed here on his official website.
