artist bio:

Blair Sky Whitaker (7-16-1981), is a Flagstaff, Arizona based artist who received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in painting from Northern Arizona University. “My formal emphasis may be in painting, though my body of work is far from limited to the 2D mediums, I utilizes a renaissance approach, studying the disciplines of sculpting, ceramics, calligraphy, painting , and printmaking. With all this said my true passion is aligned with glass lamp working (blown glass). My artwork has been presented in a variety of contemporary art shows, galleries, and installations, as well as permanent public works. my eclectic approach has left me with an deeper understanding of the more subtle elements of art. Extending my knowledge of the basic principles of art I thoughtfully apply these things to any medium. I find a pleasant paradox in utilizing a Zen approach of striping away all but the basic elements of of art, while at the same time presenting bold, intricate, and complex works."
