Announcing Bluebird Art for the Apple Watch

June 8, 2015 Min Liu

We are pleased and excited to announce the first art community and marketplace for the Apple Watch, by Bluebird Art!

Bluebird Art is all about helping you connect with top professional artists and their creative process. Now, you can get "tapped" when an artist you follow starts, finishes, and shares a work to the Bluebird gallery - and see the latest works - all from the convenience of your wrist!

We at Bluebird are tremendously excited by the possibilities of intersecting technology with art, and we are smitten by the opportunities presented by the Apple Watch in bringing you closer to artists and the work they're making on a daily basis.

So voilà!

"I often turn to the wilds to restore and ground myself. I am always accepted outside among the trees. It seemed only natural to celebrate and interpret this connection with my camera." - Artist and botanical photographer, Tara Gill @taragi

"Plants speak to me. They grab my attention and whisper their beauty secrets in my ears. I listen. I put their words into my hopper, let them bubble gently, and interpret what they told me." — Tara Gill @taragill, artist and botanical

Project Feature: McClure Pass Diptych by Sirima Sataman

May 15, 2015 Min Liu

Today we're sharing the creative process of one of Bluebird Art's favorite projects, McClure Pass Diptych, by artist Sirima Sataman. Sirima took her beloved VW bus to that high pass in Colorado, where this work draws its inspiration. Drawings are made on wooden panels which are then carved, inked, and proofed. The prints for the diptych are then meticulously pulled from the woodcut. Pretty rad. You can follow Sirima as she makes new works or purchase McClure Pass Diptych in the Bluebird Art app.

Artist Feature: Peter Foucault

May 8, 2015 Min Liu

"Peter Foucault’s procedure connects his work with the Surrealist lineage of automatism, the chance-enamored strategies of Fluxus and oddities on the fringes of art such as Harold Cohen’s computer-generated drawings." — Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle

We're excited to feature Oakland-based artist, Peter Foucault. Peter creates works on paper that are fueled by his love of drawing and mark making. In his latest series of works, he created and employed a sound-activated robot that “paints” ink-based drawings based on the perception of sound in its environment.

Collector Feature: Nancy Reyering

April 24, 2015 Min Liu

We're turning the tables this week and featuring one of Bluebird Art's first collectors and the host of our recent art show, Ms. Nancy Reyering.

We asked Nancy, why is art important to you? She responded: "Art speaks through the eyes first, but then starts to live in the heart. Art reminds me of places I’ve been or aspire to, both physically and emotionally."

Read her interview and browse through the art show and her personal collection here.

Artist Feature: Holly Savas

April 10, 2015 Min Liu

We at Bluebird Art were given the fantastic opportunity to get an insider’s view into the life and work of artist Holly Savas at her residence and studio in San Francisco.

Holly Savas is a contemporary collage artist with modernist sensibilities. Coming from a design background that is evidenced in the orderliness of her compositions, she creates abstracted urban landscapes. She speaks about the optimism in her work, and it is here that the modernist qualities manifest. The forms are simple, colours bright and warm, and patterns and textures lively, all of this speaking to a portion of the modernist aesthetic.” — Ariane Fairlie, Kolaj Magazine (January 2015)

The interview features Holly both as an artist and as a collector. Tap here for the interview.

Artist Feature: Christian Davies

April 3, 2015 Min Liu

We are excited to be sharing interviews of artists we work with on Bluebird Art.

Our first artist is no stranger to Bluebird: Christian Davies. His paintings are inspired by the American quilt patterns that he grew up around with his mother being a quilter.

I paint from traditional American quilt patterns as a basis for my work. I start with a quilt block and then let it morph and unfold in a very improvised way to the degree that it can be unrecognizable from the original block. - Christian Davies

Hello Bluebird Art!

March 24, 2014 Min Liu

In partnership with the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design, I'm excited to announce the Bluebird Art iPhone app! Download the app here.

Bluebird Art is the mobile platform for finding beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces for your home by following the artist’s journey of making.

Bluebird Art’s mission is to enrich people’s lives by deepening their understanding of art and bringing more art into their homes. I made Bluebird because I believe everyone should have an opportunity to understand, appreciate, and buy art. By engaging with the artist’s creative process, I believe we can find works that we can really connect with.

Use Bluebird Art to follow painters, ceramicists, glass makers, wood artists, furniture makers, and others as they make beautiful works that you can own.
