[image Alexameade.com]I came across this really interesting blurb from the San Diego Union-Tribune about Alexa Meade, an artist who paints using a unique medium. Instead of using canvases, she paints directly onto her live models and completely transforms her clients into works of art. They turn into real life paintings!
It's amazing how she was able to take the traditional "live model" concept and completely turn it around into what Robert Pincus, the Union-Tribune's art writer and critic, calls "a novel kind of pictorial illusionism.""...her art imitates life - on top of life."

Successful artists need to take risks like this is order to innovate and remain fresh while expressing their unique vision. Meade, who studied Political Science in college only to trade in her Capitol Hill experience for a paint brush, is as innovative as they come.
