K.Chartrand Arts

K.Chartrand Arts Calais, Vermont based artist and jewelry designer. The continual observation of my everyday surroundings is the center of my creative process.

Creating objects, which intrigue the viewer to reconsider their environment and experiences. I believe that jewelry is not simply a beautiful object but an outlet of creative expression. Creativity is my life. Always challenging myself to create pieces, which express the way I see the world. Kristine Chartrand

Making some slow progress. There has been a bird outside our house that is driving me insane. It makes noise from sunrise to sunset. It feels never ending.

Ugh, when you are on the last drawing before finishing an entire body of work and all you want to do is move on to the next series. Why is it so hard to finish something? Perhaps it’s knowing I should probably apply to galleries. I guess I can continue stuffing series of work in my flat file.

It could also be the concussion I am still recovering from, but I can’t seem to find the right colors today.

This week was about repeating patterns and alternative printmaking processes. I created 2 repeat patterns, the first of which is here. Then I did a Mod Podge transfer on top. Then a little bit of paint markers to finish it off.
