GIRLIE SHOW ARTIST OF THE MONTH....

Brandi Twilley

Location: Oklahoma City, OK


A Self Portrait by Brandi Twilley...so cool!

GS: What do you create?
BT: prints, drawings, and paintings

GS: What projects are you working on right now?
BT: I am working on a series of small etchings about the things that bother me most these days like waste, greed, and indifference. I'm approaching it in sort of the way Renaissance artists would make allegories. I'm trying to find some sort of figurative expression for these things.

GS: Where/How/Why did this all begin?
BT: I've been making art since as early as I can remember.

GS: As a 2007 artist, what about The Girlie Show rocked your world?
BT: I liked the idea of being a part of an all female art show. It was the most fun I've had showing art.

GS: The Girlietini: friend or foe?
BT: I didn’t have one, but I bet I'd have liked it.

Skeleton Models by Brandi Twilley...work it!

GS: What are you totally obsessed with these days?
BT: I am sort of between obsessions right now. I was obsessed with Mexican art and "skeleton people." I think I am going to get back into painting on masonite and ceramic sculpture. I've been obsessed with finding a studio space where that would be possible.

GS: Tell us something completely random and quite possibly useless.
BT: I didn't get sick once this winter. I think it's because I've been taking my vitamins.

GS: What’s on your iPod/music player right now?
BT: I don't have an i-pod but I’ve got "She don't use Jelly" stuck in my head.

GS: If you were a shoe, what shoe would you be?
BT: I'd be my green Steve Madden sneakers that I've been wearing for four years.

GS: What do you secretly wish you could do/be?
BT: I secretly wish I could sing.

GS: Do you have any collections?
BT: I have a collection of pottery shards collected from beaches around Massachusetts. The beaches there have been harbors for several hundred years, so the pieces I have are really old and interesting.
