Artist Interview with Art Palaver (Fort Collins, CO) How would you describe your art?
My art is based on my reflections of the world around me. I observe. I learn. I feel… then I create. I often have themes in my art. Sometimes I use symbolism and sometimes whimsy to portray the mood or thoughts I may have at that particular moment. Whatever the mood, I like bold lines and vibrant colors. For me, my art is like a photograph, capturing a moment in my life that I can always look back on. Featured Article in Art Palaver (Fort Collins, CO) The Modern Day Artist Living in the Modern Day World
An artist in today’s world faces a variety of challenges that may or may not have been present before. Our goals have changed, our desires to share our imagery and visualization have taken on a whole new set of guidelines and rules. After all, artists have become just as divided as religions with the many facets they are labeled with. When it comes down to it though, we all bleed red, despite the medium we choose to use, and starving or not, we need to create art and make a living simultaneously.

Writers Manual Interview with Meilena Hauslendale
I actually began my career in the Communications industry being a radio personality on-air and performing station management. I did this for several years and soon entered into the music industry. But even throughout all of these different migrations into branches of the arts, I still continued to write a monthly column for a local newspapers. I then started doing art back in 1997 and a different side of me was allowed to emerge through lines and colors. I enjoyed this part of expression so much because it related to my perspectives on life and the reality of who I was.

Art Classes at Acting Out Art Studio (St. Paul,MN, USA)
Sharpie Art classes were taught in St Paul, MN by local art instructor Pamela Pitman on behalf of Acting Out Studio.
They taught several students about Artist Meilena Hauslendale’s style using Sharpie Markers & Watercolor. Be sure to click on the link to see some of the samples and the artists with their work. This was a lot of fun!
Artist Interview with TheAbundantArtist.com (Utah, USA)
This interview is absolutely golden. Meilena, the Sharpie Artist, gives a master class in selling art in the first 8 minutes.
She runs through a treasure trove of ideas, and we then spend the next 15 minutes breaking down a few of those ideas into more detail.
