2014 Fenton ArtWalk Artists Wendy Dalton and Armando to Paint Plein Air at Elle Marie Hair Salon July 12

Residence: Hartland

Type of art: Airbrush/ portraits, animals etc

What is your next project?: I’m working on a few commission paintings

Where can your art be found?: A painting that Armando and I painted together last year is being shown in the "Made in Lansing" Exhibit in Lansing City Hall May 31st until November... So that’s exciting for us. As of December 2013, I finally got my own studio in Hartland Villiage.  It is a store front/office space. I absolutely love having a large area to be able to move around in, paint freely, have parties, and conduct business out of.  It’s amazing and great things have happened since I've had this space and opportunity. God has truly blessed me. My Art Studio is called Creation Destination and I plan on having airbrush classes starting April 5th 2014.

Awards: We won 1st place for this painting in the ART ATTACK art competition in REO Town, Lansing.  I also plan on entering some out door events this year locally..

Do you belong to any art organizations?:  No.. I've wanted to join at least one but I’m always busy with something else.  I'd rather be painting honestly...

What inspires you?:  My son, friends, and music inspire me.   Guess it depends on my mood. Artists and creative people inspire me the most. Past experiences inspire me as well.  Good and bad. It’s all a part of the art expression.

About Armando and I:  We have been a team and in a relationship since July 25th 2012.  We have traveled and have painted together a few different places. We both love people and enjoy painting in public. We usually paint on large canvases because we both require breathing room, and the result is amazing.. Lovin’ what we do!!!
