The Art of Samantha Cimino
I'm an experimental artist who works with screenprinting, painting, illustration and mixed media. My art is fueled by my emotions, experiences, and love for life. I'm 25 and currently reside in Portland, Oregon. This is just the start of my journey.

Hans Belmer
Interesting Facts about the artist:
German photographer, sculptor, printmaker, painter and writer. As a child he developed fear and hatred for his tyrannical father, who totally dominated his gentle and affectionate mother. He and his younger brother Fritz found refuge from this oppressive family atmosphere in a secret garden decorated with toys and souvenirs and visited by young girls who joined in sexual games. In 1923 Bellmer was sent by his father to study engineering at the Technische Hochschule in Berlin, but he became interested in politics, reading the works of Marx and Lenin and joining in discussions with artists of the Dada Movement.
In 2006 the Whitechapel Gallery in London removed 12 works by Hans Bellmer from an exhibition, for fear that the sexual overtones would be offensive to the neighborhood’s Muslim population.

Went to the AVAM in Baltimore (I strongly recommend that you check it out if you haven’t), and the most wonderful thing I saw was astounding works by Vanessa German. I was in complete awe, and so very inspired by the strength and beauty her art exuded.

One place you must see in Baltimore is he American Visionary Art Museum. So glad I could visit again, what an amazing exhibit that’s up!
It’s too bad I couldn’t get photos inside the museum of the wonderful amazing fantastic art. So VERY inspiring! -
Hey followers! Just got back a week ago from a trip to the east coast to visit home. Stopped off at NYC on the way and saw some amazing things at the MOMA! Nothing like amazing art to get you feeling inspired…

Haunting and luminous, Erin Rei’s art brings nature’s mysteries onto the body. Part colonization, part armour, the collections of flora and fauna hold the delicate human forms in a balance of vulnerability and power. She joins the Friendship Edition exhibiting at this year’s TCAF.
“Erin Rei is an escapist, she lives, draws, eats and sleeps in the other world…” - Full Bio at TCAF site
