artist bio:

Blair Sky Whitaker (b. 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. “Although my formal emphasis is in Painting, my body of work is far from limited to the 2-D mediums. At school, I took a Renaissance approach, studying the disciplines of sculpting, ceramics, calligraphy, painting, and printmaking. 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 given me a deep understanding of the subtle elements of art and artmaking. I find a pleasant paradox in utilizing a Zen aesthetic that strips away all but the most basic elements of art, while at the same time presenting bold, intricate and complex multimedia pieces.”
