Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Corliss Blakely

Painting with your cellphone? Yes — get used to it. Blakely, a seventh-generation Vermonter, is firmly rooted in tradition, but she says the painting app for the iPhone and iPad has “opened up a whole new world for artists.” And if you think the resulting artwork is all pixilated, think again. Better yet, go look at Blakely’s works at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery at the Flynn Center in Burlington. Her paintings in watercolor, oil and egg tempera are in collections around the world. The digital works will likely be soon to follow. Pictured: “Red Poppy.”
