- About Me:
- My artwork is inspired from India where I was born and spent my growing years. The technique I have used comes from the northwestern part of India and is called “Warli.” In this technique, simple shapes are used to depict all forms of nature. Plants, animals, landscape and people are all painted using bright white paint against a terracotta background.
I love the simplistic form and use it in my own creative contemporary style. The backgrounds are either warm or cool colors depending on the time of day and have a rich texture to represent earth. I execute an abstract art form using very free and bold brushwork for the background. The method of painting of the foreground is the complete opposite. I make a detailed illustration of a story using very fine brushes and controlled strokes. The symbols and shapes in my art tell very simple stories.
This contrast of abstract and real, simple and complex, nature and man are a recurring pattern in my art.

My name is Nora Doyle, the Physical Education Coordinator at America SCORES St. Louis.
We’re hosting an art show and fundraiser on March 20, 2010, and would like for you to submit one or more pieces to our event. I’ve included some information below. Please contact me if you have any questions about the project. Thanks in advance!

The Inspired Art Project enlists local artists to create and submit original works, inspired by original poetry written by students participating in America SCORES St. Louis. Started by another SCORES affiliate in the Bay Area, the Inspired Art Project is an exciting national model for community collaboration.
On, March 20, 2010, the selected artwork will be collected and displayed at our annual Inspired Art Show. Proceeds from the event will support America SCORES St. Louis, a unique, comprehensive, youth development program which uses the tools of poetry, soccer, creative expression and service-learning to equip and inspire urban youth to lead healthy lifestyles, become engaged students, and grow into leaders for their schools and communities.
Interested artists need to register ASAP in order to submit their work to the event. Artists may choose to collect 25% of the final auction price for their work, or can donate all or a portion of the commission back to America SCORES St. Louis. Other artist benefits include:
• Free admission to the event (includes two complimentary drinks)
• Free guest tickets (up to 3) to the event
• Listing on our event website, www.inspiredartstlouis.org
• Listing in our event program
For more information, please visit www.inspiredartstlouis.org or call Matt at 314-533-0302.
Sincerely Yours, Kevin Skypainter
