MEET THE ARTIST:
“Self Portrait” by Mimi McCallum
After years of creating visually recognizable imagery Mimi McCallum has taken a new direction! Her new path is taking her into the world of abstract. The pieces are painted with cold wax medium and oil paint. Oil pastels, graphite oil sticks and other medium find their way into the mix. Mimi’s brushes have been laid aside, as the paint is applied to canvas or cradled board with an assortment of tools: squeezes, spatulas, knives, rollers, printing implements, anything is in the game!
“Get Crackin” by Mimi McCallum
This luscious medium can be layered and layered, carved into and scraped away creating interesting textures and fascinating color blends. The paintings have a history that is revealed and interwoven into the final image. Her one requirement is that the painting will stand compositionally from any direction, so it may be hung and viewed in personal preference. Mimi’s paintings are intuitive and spontaneous with no initial plan. Her “New Directions” take her on the creative journey, and she invites us along with her!
“In The Park” by Mimi McCallum
Mimi received her Master of Art Education from Florida International University in Miami, her BA from Montana State in Bozeman MT. She completed the Florida art certification from FSU in Tampa. Mimi attended Anchorage West High, where her father was an FBI agent. She is married with two children and two grandchildren.
“Untitled” by Mimi McCallum
Mimi puts her talent to work in her studio in Jensen Beach, FL, and exhibits throughout Florida and the Bahamas. She tells The Rickie Report, “Through my art I aspire to capture moments in time that relate to memories that touch our hearts. I aspire to create images of objects, places and figures with pleasing shapes and energetic color.” Mimi’s new work was recently exhibited at Art Synergy 2018.
