ART: Refined & Recycled

The Power and Impact of Art

Playful Pinks on Orange – Libby Walsh

The beauty of abstract art, both for the viewer and artist, is that any person can interpret any art they see in whichever way they choose.

Libby Walsh is an artist friend I met in Palm Springs through a mutual friend (we call her Candy the connector) a couple years ago. We met when a group of us went to a fashion luncheon at Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage.  Since then, we’ve seen each other a number of times on other occasions, including another Wally’s fashion lunch because we enjoyed it so much the first time.

Aside from being an artist with a twist (literally), Libby’s a true tennis fanatic enthusiast who can talk everything tennis related. She’s a regular spectator at the annual BNP Paribas Tennis Open in Indian Wells, featuring the best players in the world.

A former photo and food stylist for 25 years, Libby received a BFA degree with an emphasis on photography and sculpture. 

Her broad range of creative endeavours have influenced her passion for design, composition, color, and the love of abstract expressionism.

Her art is a unique form.  It revolves around using refined organic cotton material, which she transforms into sculptured ethereal compositions.  The only surviving record and reminder of it is via photograph. The original materials are recycled for other creations. One small piece may be used in many ways for different creations…there is a place for everything.  No waste.  She calls it LibArt..photographed, organic compositions.  Like this:

Swirling White on Black – Libby Walsh

She recently gifted our friend Mini an art piece for her birthday.

Libby’s Photo Art is a visual endeavour, creating energy in a limited space. The composition of flowing lines that balance the positive and negative space, gives the viewer an invitation to Stop, Reflect and Enjoy the limited, but not limiting motion of design.

Some of her works are scheduled to be on display in a gallery at the Perez Art District in Cathedral City. More details to follow.
