3 amazing artists! Let’s see what they have to say about their color of choice!
“here’s the logo of my webzine since the very begining
for me this is the color of positionning
it’s between a « light blue » which represents self-expression and eternal knowledge, creativity and a « vivid green » which represents vitality and personal growth
this turquoise for me speaks of a place in between, something like diversity … an opening for the other, something different”

“My favorite color is green. (…) for one thing my eyes are green…..other than that I love green because it’s a healthy color. It shows growth in everything and as you can see from my Etsy shop, I have a love of nature.
But to me it’s not just nature’s growth that is green, it’s in people also. We are becoming more & more “green” every day. It is a part of the wonderful world we live in every day. Without the color green this planet would be and look dead. It’s also a calming color in my opinion. I find that it’s the most calming (to me anyway). Nothing is better than walking out into my gardens at the end of a stressful day and just sit amongst all the green plants….it helps wash all the hurry hurry stress away.”

“My favourite colour? That’s one of those questions that, for me anyway, is both easy and hard to answer at the same time. I’ll opt for the easy answer I think…
My favourite colour would have to be orange, yet it is a colour I don’t wear and don’t own anything in except for art supplies. I would look terrible in orange, and would hate orange furniture or accessories, preferring something more restful. But as an art material I love orange.
I do mean as a material too, not just as a colour. When I was doing the Honours year of my Diploma of Art & Creativity we looked at the idea that colour itself can be a material. I immersed myself in every orange paint and dye and ink and powder I could find – then couldn’t sleep. The orange was all so overpowering and intense that my mind just could not shut down. And then there’s the message orange screams – warning, danger, pay attention, high alert – no wonder I was wide awake till all hours of the night.
The more I filled page after page, canvas after canvas, with orange paint, dye, ink, wool, cellophane, the more I could see that the orange itself operates as a material. Stunning. So why is orange my favourite colour? I think it is the sheer intensity, the excitement of it, and its ability to create a reaction, that appeals to me.”
