A L Etter's Revised Artist Statement

Creating things with my hands has always been an aspiration of mine. I decided a few years ago that it was a craving that was not fleeting; against all of my family’s wishes I would obtain a degree in the arts. I attended South Puget Sound Community College from the ages of 16 to 19; I finished my Associates degree at the age of 18, and spent the next year in the arts exploring different mediums and gaining experience before I attended Central Washington University.  Though my work has contained many different styles and subjects, I have slowly been working towards strictly nature-influenced work.

As a child I was always interested in learning about the things around me. I spent more time alone exploring the world and observing as much as I could. I preferred to watch things like the Discovery Channel and read my dad’s National Geographic than playing with other girls my age.  Before I was able to read, I would find all the nature books I could and look at the pictures for hours.

My work ranges from portrayals of landscapes to close examinations of plants, animals, and people. I especially enjoy creating works of art containing various marine organisms. I tend to portray lesser-known animals. I aspire to become a scientific illustrator when I am all said and done with school, focusing oceanic fauna. By using my knowledge of these animals, I am able to recreate them, whether it is in metals, drawing, painting, or sculpture and put them in the public’s view. My goal is to educate people, to give them a chance to see and learn something new; to at least glimpse some of the things that keep me in awe, even if it is my artwork and not the actual creature.  

I am opening up a new chapter in my life by studying abroad for a year in Tasmania, Australia. I will be taking mostly art classes and will come back with all the credits I need to graduate. I was informed that I will be the only American student going to University of Tasmania's Launceston's campus at the School of Visual and Preforming arts. I plan to also spend as much time as I can in and around the ocean to further gather inspiration for my art and future career choice.

Artist Statement

     I always have a big passion for being a graphic designer. I love playing with colors and typographic in a creative way to impress people. Every project that I did contains variety of fonts and colors, which also challenges me and excites me. My major design concept is simple as possible, I try to make everything simple and straight forward. I think it is a more powerful way to deliver my message to the audience through the visual graphics I created than just a sentence of slogan. I also enjoy doing T-shirt designs and poster designs. My goal is to communicate with the audience and client through the images, the creative visual graphics and the typographic I created.

Artist Statement, Resume, and Art

Here is a link to my personal blog!

I am a person who is interested in knowing a little bit more about everything as long as I deem it to be within reason. Having said that I was unable to decide on a major for sometime with sincere interest in every subject I can think of. Finally though I settled on art as it became clear to me that I could not only show others what I learned and thought was interesting, but grapple with my emotions and life experience, while hopefully benefitting those around me through my work.

Revised Statement with Images

As a graduating B.F.A. Studio art major, I am still finding my own place within the art community. I do not have a grand artistic scheme; however; I have my own style an undercurrent of gritty color, which is prevalent in my work across mediums, as well as a fondness for geometric shapes.

W o r k, a simple four letter word, yet it marks the summation of five years of professionally learning and improving. Though I enjoy it all, Photography, Drawing, Painting, Illustration, Graphic design, my real passion is Web design.  I love the fusion of the technical code and design and it challenges me to make work that works on a fundamental level as well as an ever developing technological and graphical level. I have dabbled in web design since 2002 and have enjoyed watching the field expand and develop as I have over the past decade. Right now, I am finishing my minor in Web design and management and I know that what I have learned will be outdated if I don’t keep up with the ever advancing technologies. This presents a challenge that will keep me interested over the years to come. Personally, the act of creating art is driven by my desire to make people appreciate good design a little more, even if they do not understand why.
