I met the painter Stephanie Clair today.

As I was researching different art galleries in La Jolla I happened to find an art gallery called "Eagle Fine Art Gallery" so I called the gallery and asked if I could come in and interview one of the artist who's paintings are displayed there, and lucky enough Stephanie Clair an artist I have never heard of was coming into town today, and she welcomed me to come and interview her.
I first looked for her website and looked at some of the art that she's done and she paints mostly Romantic Cubism, which I really never had any interest toward that type of art, untilI met her and seen her paintings. She is a full time artist and started her painting career in San Diego, California and she use to live in a small town that wasn't really exciting so she drew on her spare time. She had a very good attitude and answered all my questions and was really open about her life and she became the artist that she is today. Some of my questions were, is it difficult to make paintings that not only you like but other people in order for your art to sell? and she had some really interesting stories about her growing up and how she finally realized that she wanted to paint more than just landscape which then got her into Romantic Cubism. Her paintings had very strong messages and others just made you think about life in general and how we take some things for granted, and she explained to me a lot about just following what you think is best in life and through that you will be successful if you keep your mind set on that, and I believe that she is a very powerful woman that is down to earth and she had a lot of positive things to say about life overall. I really learned a lot from what she told me and I wanted to write down as much as I could but she had so much to say and I wanted to focus on what she was trying to tell me but I definitely learned a lot from meeting her. I wasn't very into Cubism until I saw her art work and it showed me a better side of it that I didn't really understand at first. She was the perfect person to interview because I learned so much about art, her life as a painter, and some techniques that will take anyone far in life.


If you go to her website Stephanieclair.com then you will see her paintings and you can read a little more about her.
