The Daily Campello News Happy 4th of July!

Lenny Campello posted his top ten picks from Artomatic 2009 and I am so proud to have made the list,chosen from out of over 1000 artists. If ever I had doubted quitting my job to paint full time, this blew it out of the water. A very favorable review for sure.


Jeannette Herrera's Blue Faced KillerJeannette L. Herrera - Space 210 on the 2nd floor. This blue face killer is all over the map with her artwork, and yet she covers that map very well. She makes and sells everything: T-shirts, buttons, stickers, skateboards, shoes, custom made frames, etc.

She is a GerhardtRichterian artist in the sense that her artwork is about what interests and makes her tick, not what the critics dictate. I love the energy and drive and zeal behind her work; it's like an artistic hurricane in violent motion at all times.

I know a lot of accomplished artists, now in the October of their careers (the best time for hurricanes) who wish they could find a way to rediscover 10% of the energy and intelligence that Herrera drives through your brain with paint-stained nails in each of her paintings.
