margarethurstart - Studio 1482 Illustration

Studio 1482 was proud to host our inaugural zoom drawing night on October 30th, as a way to say thank you to our clients and stay connected during these trying times.

Drawing from the model is close to our hearts, and we had a great time that evening working with our long-time collaborator, the performance artist Kika. She modeled for us in an dizzying array of stripes; closing out the 3 hour session by wearing a traditional Spanish mantilla.

Below are some drawings created that evening by our Studio members, with a few words about what drawing means to them:

GREG BETZA: Drawing is my way to confidently communicate, artistically. It allows me to share what I see, feel and think freely without hesitation.

VERONICA LAWLOR: Drawing is my way to connect with others, tell a story, and hopefully bring a little beauty to the world. It’s an instinctive response to a moment, almost like breathing.

DOMINICK SANTISE: Drawing is my constant. No matter what comes next, it starts with a drawing.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well in this time of crisis.

Here at Studio 1482, we want to thank the medical professionals, first responders, and essential workers who are out there working for us every day. So we each created an illustrated thank you card for them.
