Lo and behold! You have ‘Reincarnated’ artwork!

Anne Schwegmann-Fielding has been creating artworks for public spaces and private clients for the last 15 years.
The core of her work lies in reuse and recycle with a sense of history and ancient craft of mosaic and thus “the ordinary is made extraordinary.”
At the moment I wish to be in London as I want to see Anne’s work at the exhibition organized by The European Commission Representation in the UK

In my last post there has been heated discussion via comments about the current terror attacks on Mumbai. There is in depth first person account + analysis, a word of advice and some very strong words.

from Designflute (because these are my views) and
By Meera Sethi (as these are her creations)
I think an artist becomes immensely successful when a common man is able to express his/her views through an artist’s versatile work.
Here I am expressing my geopolitical views through artist Meera Sethi’s beautiful geometric patterns.

Meera Sethi is a talented multi-disciplinary artist living in Canada and New Delhi.
Her design studio misc. (meera sethi creative) specializes in digital and print communications, branding, photography and illustration.
