The 3-D painting style I developed is unique and created with animated enthusiasm as I drip and fling layers of color. It is entertaining for viewers to witness as the layers of color develop into representational imagery. My style is an evolution combining Impressionist painters "Spirit of Place" and Contemporary applications like Jackson Pollock's dripped paint technique. Each painting reflects playfulness and vigor and can be appreciated by both patrons of abstraction or impressionism. First, I lay down a foundation with broad brush strokes in an impressionistic style; ( Then I paint without restraint splashing and dripping color, mimicking my excitement and enthusiasm for my subjects. The paintings are created by building a multicolored woven surface with dripped layers on large scale panels to form windows of site -specific scenery. The layers create visual perception of depth and tactile dimension. The resulting images can be viewed as representational or abstract depending on the viewers distance from the canvas. Standing near my work viewers see lively splashes and drips of seemingly unorganized color, but as they step away, "Ah Ha", the layers of color form images. At first glance, the style is loose and whimsical, but with closer observation the painting yields detail and depth. It is like getting two paintings in one.

Der Dreilarder- garten, der modeme Pa«Ilon von Zaha Hadid, das alte Kieswerk, wo heute der Bildhauer Volker Scheurer sein Atelier and eine Galerie betreibt and Uberall Skulpturen stehen - das alles inspiriert den Kunstler aus Amerika. Das game Areal ist fur ihn „a wonderland": „It's ma- gic. it's a dream..." Tim Upham isteinervon vier interna- tioralen Unstlern, die seit gcstern beirn erster. Kunstsymposium des Kieswerk Open -Air im DreiRindergarten arbeiten. Die Besucher k6nnen ihnen zuschauen urd so auch die Entwickiunssschritte and den Entstehungsprozess dcr Kunstwerke mitverfolgen. Es ist die Idee dieses Sym- posiums, das vom Kulturamt gemcinsam mit dean Kunstraum Kieswerk organisiert wi rd, days die Leute nicht nur das Kinoer- lcbnis unter freiem Himmel and die Live- Musik geniefier, sondem auch dal Ent- stehen von Kunstwerken erleben k6n- rcn. Dafur erweist sich dieser Ort mit set - rem spannenden Kontrast zwischen \a- tur, Industriclandschaft and Architektur als-iberaus geeignet.

Doch wenn man naher- tritt, vcrwandeln sich ihrc wild-abstrak- ten Gemelde, die aus reiner Farbbewe- gung and Farbspuren zu bestchen schei- nen, in realistische and naturalistische Blumen and Pflanzen - ein fantastisches Vexierspiel. Yuzo Chiba aus Sapporo ker.nt den Ort schon von eine- Ausstel- lung irn Kunstwerk Kieswerk vo- fiin:`jah- ren. Diesel Mal will der japaner eine gro- Be abstrakte Skulptur aus Plexiglas schaf- fen, bestehend aus drei geometrisch-kon- struktiven Elementen, die sich bberkreu- zen urd Oberschneiden. Damit mbchte Yuzo Chiba die Schnittpunkte der drei Lander im Drciltindereck symbolisieren. Zur Veranschau Itch ung zeigt er schon mal ein kleines Modell der Plastik. Der Schweizer Holzbildhauer Urs Tvmllmann war gerade zwci Wochen lang im Engadin and hat von dort ..einen An- lienger voll mit Asten" mitgebracht. lWelhnanns Material fist das Holz, das er bricht, spaltct, zersagt and zu Skulptwen and Objekten gestaltet. Besorders genie arbeitet er mit FundstUcken aus dem Wald, mit Forstholz, mit Schwemmholz, -and ct ist beim hicsigen Forstamt nosh auf weiterer Materialsuche. Vor neon jah- ren hat der Kunstler zur Weiler Landes• gar wnschau „Gran 99" eine Schwemm- holzkugel geschaffen, die von der Stadt angekauft wurde and die heute noch Im Dreilandergarten steht. Manche Besu- cher werden rich auch roch an 'hvell- manns ..Baum-Blbliothek- erinnern, die ebenfalls auf dem Grungelartde zu sehen war. Beim Kunstsymposium kann er sich vorsteller., etwas Ahnliehcs wic these hdl- zerne Kugel zu gestalten. „Aber ich bin da noch often". Bis Sonntagwerclen die vier Kunstler, die Bildhauer Volker Scheurer zusam- mengebracht hat, rund um das Kieswerk arbeiten. Nachmittags bis in den Abend hincin rind sic an verschicdcncn Orten au` dem Areal anzutreffen. Bis 19 Uhr ist das Gelandc frci zuganglich, danach wird die Kasse f-j-die Fil.rnvorfiihrungen gebtf- net.

If selected as a finalist I will demonstrate why I have been invited to participate in many performance art projects. The 3-D painting style I developed is unique and created with animated enthusiasm as drip and fling layers of color. It is entertaining for viewers to witness as the layers of color develop into representational imagery. A few examples of live Art in Action projects I have completed include street chalk drawing festivals throughout Colorado and painting live to the music of the Symphony, Opera Fort Collins and many other musicians and singers for fundraisers at the Lincoln Center. I also created a painting representing the "Spirit of Place" during a week long invitational art festival in Germany in 2008. My favorite part of the event was watching patrons discover imagery in my painting as they talked with me and stepped away from the canvas to see the imagery appear. Guests came back daily to watch the progression of the artwork. I was awarded seconded place at the symposium for the painting I created on location, Drei Nationen Garten. For exterior work I paint on large scale single or multiple panels of weather and vandal resistant Lexan or steel to form windows of site -specific scenery. In the 3-dimensional wall piece "ICE HARVEST", I reverse painted on Lexan to create a representational painting separated into 13 pieces and mounted in steel stacked frames representing ice blocks. This idea was derived after collaborating with the project design team. The painting samples I provided are a contemporary style of painting that can be pushed to abstraction or refined to become more realistic. My style lends itself well to both patrons of realism and abstraction. It is a mixture of Impressionism and Jackson Pollock's dripped paint technique. This paint technique is what I am becoming known for and is a colorful and lively approach used to create renditions of genius loci or my surroundings. It is also notable that in addition to APP projects I have been awarded, I have worked as an assistant on others including one in Aurora Colorado in 2008 for $215,000. This has given me first hand experience of large and medium scale projects from conception, certifications from structural engineers to installation. have enjoyed working with design teams and look forward to the opportunity of working with your team in the development of an interactive art project that would help continue to raise awareness of the vitality of our downtown community. Thank you so much for your time. Sincerely, Lisa J. Cameron 1. What expertise and sensibilities do you bring to the project? A. What makes me excited about working on the Art in Action project is being able to translate my experiences from other similar projects, forward to this one. a. International Snow Sculpture in Japan Represented the United States team capturing the event on film for future creation of a documentary of the event and answering questions from visitors and guests about our project b. Invitational International Art Symposium in Germany I created a painting live during the week long event from indigenous flora winning second place. c. Painted live during the "Celebration of Hope and Humanity" and "Tsunami Relief Fund" in Fort Collins. Painted to the music performed by Opera Fort Collins, The Symphony, jazz musicians and children's choruses. d. Participated in street Chalk Drawing festivals throughout Colorado. Created works as patrons observed and asked questions. All of these opportunities have given me the experience necessary to fabricate artistic creations under the inquisitive and close observation of the public eye. When completing a project under the watchful observation of others. There is no room for mistakes and you must be able to remain focused while being congenial and answering questions from the inquisitive viewer. I am out there to entertain. That is equally as important as the piece I am creating. 2. How does my initial concept fit into the themes of Sustainability, the History of Fort Collins or Eclectic/Bohemian? A. Sustainability - the ability to maintain balance a. The piece can demonstrate this physically, visually or both. It depends on how esoteric you want to be. To keep an artwork in balance we do this visually, through texture and color in a composition. Or physically we can use recycled material. I could also balance the piece by the choice of images I used- one side a one colored historical figurative industrial image countered by the other side, a brightly colored flamboyant subject from nature. B. History of Fort Collins a. Like the piece created for Monument Colorado, I can create imagery that reflects important industries that defined and developed Fort Collins. For example the Beet Factory or the agricultural beginnings of the University. I could also create imagery of indigenous, flora, fauna, or landmark landscapes (Horsetooth Rock) from which natives to the area have created and told folklore about for generations. This can be illustrated using my unique and colorful painting application or monochromatically like the reproduction of old photograph completed for Monument. C. Eclectic/Bohemian a. My painting style is eclectic, drawing from the impressionism style and adding the flair of Jackson Pollock creating a new style outcome. I am a full time artist and my work, personality and being represents the Bohemian lifestyle of frugality and voluntary poverty. I am living it, and my presence in the public as I create my work publicly for the Art in Action project is the embodiment of the theme eclectic/bohemian. 3. What is going to make my proiect exciting in the way it engages with visitors to Old Town Square? A. The untraditional process that I use to paint is unique and entertaining. I paint enthusiastically with paint stir sticks dripping and flinging paint onto my canvas. It is entertaining for viewers to witness as the layers of color develop into representational imagery. B. My painting style lends itself to both patrons of realism and abstraction. D. My proposed piece emphasizes the engaging element of surprise from different vantage points and distances. a. My work is made for pedestrians to view from many distances. Close up the imagery is abstract drips and splatters of layered color and from a distance the piece comes into focus and filled with representational imagery. E. It may have movable/kinetic components. a. The added levered element gives a different viewable subject depending from which direction you are approaching the sculpture 4. Can you move forward with your proiect with a portion of the budget and a shorter time line? A. I am comfortable creating artwork to fit a required budget and time line. B. I have sample projects and budgets of past projects as reference points. v ^?

If selected as a finalist I will demonstrate why I have been invited to participate in many performance art projects. The 3-D painting style I developed is unique and created with animated enthusiasm as drip and fling layers of color. It is entertaining for viewers to witness as the layers of color develop into representational imagery. A few examples of live Art in Action projects I have completed include street chalk drawing festivals throughout Colorado and painting live to the music of the Symphony, Opera Fort Collins and many other musicians and singers for fundraisers at the Lincoln Center. I also created a painting representing the "Spirit of Place" during a week long invitational art festival in Germany in 2008. My favorite part of the event was watching patrons discover imagery in my painting as they talked with me and stepped away from the canvas to see the imagery appear. Guests came back daily to watch the progression of the artwork. I was awarded seconded place at the symposium for the painting I created on location, Drei Nationen Garten. For exterior work I paint on large scale single or multiple panels of weather and vandal resistant Lexan or st( to form windows of site -specific scenery. In the 3-dimensional wall piece "ICE HARVEST", I reverse painted on Lexan to create a representational painting separated into 13 pieces and mounted in steel stacked frames representing ice blocks.
