About Me

My name is Katrina i am 24, live in Brisbane, Australia and i am an Open Universities student studying a Bachelor of Arts in Internet Communications with Curtin University of Technology. My objective for studying this course/degree is to gain employment in Web Design. So the purpose for creating this blog was; 1.)I have to create an online bio and blog for my chosen topic in Web206 and 2.) To share my recently discovered love for the beautiful genre of art that is Pop Surrealism. I am a creative person and have had a love for art and music for as far back as i can remember, I am an amateur artist and musician and have always wanted to incorporate my natural creative abilities and passion into a career. For a long time (about 3 years or so) i gave up on art, i stopped painting and drawing because i felt i had no true inspiration, i had a complete creative block and no matter how hard i tried to create nothing would come to mind. I have found since i discovered Pop Surrealism i have not been able to put down a pencil or paintbrush.

Much better then Wiki

So in my first post on this blog the only information and intellectual insight i could offer on the subject of Pop Surrealism was a rather short Wiki entry. Upon further and more thorough research on the matter for an assignment i came across this fantastic ArtForum article on bnet written by Yale art critic and Author, Steven Henry Madoff.
