I am in the midst of packing and researching Seattle apartments and am going kind of insane, so I’ll keep this short & sweet.. HUGE congrats to our April Art Association winner, Niki Bradly!
Niki’s winning Pinterest board
We loved the cheekiness of Niki’s associations! I mean how awesome is that Hard Livin’ Barbie?? The reward for Niki’s hard work is this fun Voss print by Jessica Brilli.
Thank you to everyone who pinned their hearts out for the contest! Erin and I will have another edition ready for you next month. Get your pinnin’ fingers ready!
Yep, it’s back! The time has come once again for your monthly Pinterest image association bonanza AKA the Art AssociationPinterest contest, wherein Erin of artsocial and I team up with an artist to get your own creative juices flowin’ AND give you a chance to win an awesome piece of artwork!
If you’re new to Art Association, here’s the haps– You create a Pinterest board around one work of art ( which we provide ), filled with anything and everything that pops into your mind while gazing at the catalyst piece.
Our catalyst piece for this month is Untitled by Jessica Brilli ( below )! I can hear all your wheels turning already..
Untitled by Jessica Brilli
Here’s how Art Association works–
Step 1| We give you a piece of artwork, this month’s work is Untitled by Jessica Brilli ( above ).
Step 2 | You create a Pinterest board titled Art Association, like mine here, where you pin any and all images you associate with the featured artwork ( like word associations, only visual )– here’s a sneak peek at some of my associations
Step 3 | Leave a link to your Art Association pinboard in the Comments section of this post
I mean seriously, how fun is this print?! Perfect addition to an artsy office, I say!
The pinner with the best Art Association board ( as judged by me and Erin ) will be chosen on Wednesday, April 24th at 5pm (mountain standard time). Now GO– PIN!!
**So sorry but the contest is open to US residents only. Stupid laws.
What better way is there to officially kick off Spring than a chance to win some art?! I assert that there is none! That’s right, Artsies, Art Association is back and this one is going to be crazy good, I can feel it! After February’s contest Erin, my partner in AA crime over at artsocial, and I persuaded this month’s artist, Karen Schnepf to participate and we think you’ll love her work just as much as we do. Seriously, it is gorgeous!
If you’re new to Art Association, here’s the what’s what — You create a Pinterest board around one work of art ( which we provide ), filled with anything and everything that pops into your mind while gazing at the catalyst piece.
Are you ready to get started? Of course, you are! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and you’re ready to pin your little hearts out. Our catalyst piece for this month is.. Wedding Day by Karen Schnepf!

Colors Layered 26 by Karen Schnepf, collaged painting with high gloss finish, 12×12
Erin & I will choose the best board entry, who will be the lucky new owner of Colors Layered 26 by Karen Schnepf ( below )! Colors Layered is a series of work in which paper is painted, cut, then layered onto panel and coated with a smooth, high gloss finish. ( The work has to be photographed before the finish s applied or else it is impossible to capture without glare ). Isn’t it stunning? I’m incredibly jealous of whoever wins this lovely.
The pinner with the best Art Association board ( as judged by me and Erin ) will be chosen on Wednesday, March 27th at 5pm (mountain standard time). I can’t wait to gaze upon all the beautifully colored boards I just know you guys are going to come up with! This currently desert-dwelling-gal needs some color!
OK, now go forth and pin!
**So sorry but the contest is open to US residents only. Stupid laws.
Big artsy thanks to everyone who participated in this month’s Art Association and HUGE thanks to artist Emily Jeffords for providing such an interesting and inspiring catalyst and art prize!
Alexandra’s board was amazing.. she even pinned some of her own artwork, she obviously loves that palette as much as Emily does! Be sure to check out Alexandra’s AA board on Pinterest and her website to see more of her own pretty awesome artwork!
Be sure to stay tuned in March for another fun & inspiring Art Association! You are going to love March’s art catalyst and prize. Pinky promise.
We had such a fabulous response to last month’sArt Association that Erin of artsocial, my AA partner and I immediately started choosing artists and planning for the next few rounds. I know everyone loved Christina Baker’s work and pinned like nobody’s business to win that lovely little painting! ( PS– Christina’s work will be available in our first exhibition & sale, which begins tomorrow! ) I think you’re going to love this month’s catalyst & prize just as much! My own pinboard was incredibly fun & inspiring to put together– I didn’t want to stop pinning, but somebody has to write this here blog.

The pinner who is deemed the winner ( hee ) will be the proud new owner of this beautiful Emily Jeffords original lithograph! Stem + Orchid is an original lithograph and comes matted for an overall size of 12″ x 13″. Wouldn’t this be a lovely addition to a gallery wall or propped prettily on a bookcase?! **

The pinner with the best Art Association board ( as judged by me and Erin ) will be chosen on Wednesday, February 27th at 5pm (mountain standard time). I’m looking forward to seeing all the creative associations you come up with! Ooooh, I just thought of another one!
Ready, set.. PIN!!
**So sorry but the contest is open to US residents only. I know. Pooh.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, to everyone who pinned their artsy hearts out for our January Art Association contest! With 22 entries and hundreds, maybe nearly a thousand ( ! ) pins, you guys gave it your all and then some. But our chosen winner, Karen Schnepf, pinned like mad, pinning over 300 images! But there was a beautiful method to her madness as each pin was associated not just by subject to what she saw in the painting, but by color palette as well, which created an amazingly lovely selection of images. I’ve repinned a few on my own boards! Here’s just a sample of the gorgeousness on Karen’s board– you can see the entire board here.
Karen Schnepf’s Winning Pinboard!
Lucky gal, that Karen, as she will soon be the new owner of Christina Baker’sBridge Over Rosesand I think I can safely say we are all GREEN with envy! Congratulations, Karen! PS– Karen is a pretty wonderful artist– be sure to check out her website!

Athena’s board was dark & moody and we loved it! Doesn’t she have a great eye?
