MARCELLE CALDER

We know it's tough, but how would you describe your art in 3 words?

Modern, serene and reminiscent

Where do you get your inspiration from to create your art?

My eyes are constantly open taking in new ideas, patterns and color inspiration pretty much everywhere I go (especially when traveling). Snapping pictures on my iPhone enables me to go back and find themes of things I found interesting. I also love to clip ideas from magazines and pair them with Pantone swatches, fabric, ribbon, and foliage to create a mood board on my wall. Once I start a project, often my artwork will take many different twists and turns, but at least I have a jumping off point that inspires me!

Tell us something about you that has nothing to do with your art.

While traveling in Thailand with my husband, I spooned a tiger...yes, an adult tiger and am alive to tell about it! It was a terrifying and exhilarating experience. Also, I absolutely love chocolate (anything dark or paired with caramel and sea salt)!
