Welcome to Starved 4 Art, a blog about art–both contemporary and historical–from the viewpoint of a fellow artist and (hopefully) other artisans. That’s the aim, the goal and the purpose of this little blog I created in the “ether”.

Since this is an intro, I should start by sharing a little about myself. My name’s Andrea Weaver, and I’m a fine artist with a concentration in painting (oils) and ink drawing. I recently graduated Cum Laude from the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design with my B.F.A in Fine Arts. Now I’ve entered the “Real World” in pursuit of my own individual, completely unique and totally my own art career…or so I’m attempting. I’ve so far had two successful exhibitions and, now, I’m in pursuit of the third. But like 99% of graduating art students, I’m also financially supporting myself through other jobs (aka careers not totally related to my degree).

Because of this, my need (like most artists trying desperately to make it in this field) to stay connected to the artistic community and the art world at large is dire, not to mention an absolute must. Writing and communicating online about art and artists, as well as discussing my own work, is just one of the many important forms we need to stay invested in what we do, because it’s such a big part of who we are. I often think of the quote, “We do not think that art can save the world, but we do believe that it sustains our humanity”. Hopefully, this blog will–with the help of contributors and conversation–do just that…
