Rikki Sneddon Art + Sechoir

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Sechoir + being featured on their video styling blog.  Sechoir features fresh, fun and functional styling tips and accessories.  Tanya is great, entertaining + fun to follow along with, she keeps me checking back often to see her new features.  This weeks feature is on summer weddings + where to get the perfect dress.  My art which s featured in the backdrop is a large scale print of my original watercolor 'The Love We Make' available Here.  See the full video and find out more about Sechoir Right Here!  Thanks Sechoir + Tanya!  You were a pleasure to work with!

A loved Life

Starting out on new adventures this month.  Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment which always ends up proving to me, that I work best under pressure.  I am very excited for where things are going.  Every decision you make, the things you say yes to and the things you say no to, all decide where your life will take you tomorrow, next month and next year.  So I say Yes.  I am inching closer and closer to my goal of being a full time artist, of one day walking away from my job.  there is so much more to my dream than that though ....there is so much that I haven't discovered yet.  That for me is the exciting part, that I don't know yet what I am capable of, 6 years ago I would never have even entertained the thought that I could be an Artist as more than a hobby.  I would never have even thought about being able to quit my dayjob and be a creative instead.  So I like to think about the future (not too much) but I like to wonder about the opportunities that haven't come my way yet, the people I haven't met and the places I will go....it's an exciting, intangible idea.  I would like to think that I will get to say yes to many of these things yet to come...I will have to wait and see and for now keep building this life I love.

A NEW THING

So I finally took the plunge and tried my hand at Live Painting at my last event.  It wasn't as bad as I thought!  I had worked myself up to an extreme degree, the only other time I have even attempted anything similar was for the recording of my Pioneer Public Television segment and they required shots of me painting.  During that instance I was so nervous I could barely paint at all, mostly just repainting background to look like I was doing something (shh don't tell) I was shaky and unsure.  So with flashbacks of that one try I have been actively avoiding any type of public painting.  After all I would say, it's personal, I have to be in the zone, in my element blah blah blah, excuses.  However with a new art venture on the horizon a good friend of mine has been encouraging me to try again.  So try I did and it wasn't that bad!  I found that it really opened up a new dialogue between me and my fans and people in general about my art.  Many people had questions about what type of medium I was using and why, I was able to show them the layers behind a painting and the story behind a painting.  I think most people really enjoyed it because it exposed them to a new part of the process that they don't usually get to see, I got to show them what was in between the layers of a painting, and me.  That mysterious part between an idea and the finished image.  So after such a good result you can expect to see me live painting at more events and stay tuned for a very important announcement coming soon!

Rikki Sneddon + Slant Of Light

Wow, I am so excited to be sharing this with you.  Just received in the mail the records from my collaboration with Boston MA based folk/americana band Slant Of Light!  They look SO good!  It's amazing to hold something in my hands and know that it's going to be all over the place with all kinds of people I will never meet, looking at it and holding just like I am now.

 
      Seeing my art on a product like this is truly one of the most exciting things I have experienced so far.  The bands lead vocals, M.E Foley was great to work with as well as their graphic designer Erin Gerret she did such an amazing job designing for the record.            
      The album is now available for download on Slant Of Lights Website.  I will be holding a drawing through my blog and on Facebook in the next few weeks and one winner will receive one of the full size records including the 7" single that the band was kind enough to send me.

   
      Be sure to SUBSCRIBE (it's free) to this blog to stay connected and have a chance to win :D  Thanks again M.e Foley, Kevin Harvey + Aaron Zak!
     This is such a special  experience for me + I cannot wait to see what happens next, what opportunities will come my way + which artists, musicians, or people I have yet to meet and work with!


THANK YOU ALL!
