MOVERS & SHAKERS

I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down whenever they’re around. All those fantastic movers and shakers changing lives, changing chairs, changing toys and changing history. All those folks we have been talking about in my blogs: Queen Victoria with her long reign in the 19th century, the Bauhaus school in the early 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright in the mid 20th century,

Pixar Cars

Steve Jobs of Apple and Pixar in the late 20th and to date only to name a few free thinkers.

Where would we be today without these creative thinkers? I suppose we would not know the difference. We can’t miss what we never knew. But we stand watch as they shake us around and push forward to new exciting innovative technology. What next?

We all subscribe to public domains to chit chat and contact others. You know: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin. The public plays all over the internet while big brother is watching. George Orwell in his 1949 book “1984″ was right about big brother. Big brother IS watching you. Orwell was a little early in his prediction. But rest assured the major minds were already working on the technology we have today.

Technology Overload

Are we on technology overload and who is big brother? Do you believe you are being watched? How do you feel about this eye on you everyday, all day, all night? Are you participating in the public domains where everyone knows who you are? What changes have you made in your life with all the technology? Is life easier?

About gailingis

Gail Ingis, ASID gailingis@ingis.com www.gailingisclaus.com The art on my website is the compilation of studies in design and architecture, learning to draw and the application of watercolor. The rest is built on that foundation. Gail is known as a “Renaissance Woman” for her varied accomplishments. Her name is accompanied by the appellation ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) which is earned through education and experience. She is a professor of history of architecture & interior design, photographer, artist juror, writer, design critic, and founder of the nationally accredited Interior Design Institute. Besides teaching at Interior Design Institute (IDI), she has taught at the New York School of Interior Design, Kean College in Union, New Jersey, the former King’s College in Briarcliff Manor, New York and in Connecticut at the University of New Haven, University of Bridgeport and Fairfield University. Currently she serves as Board Trustee and Art Director of Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk, Connecticut. She is writing a Historic Romance novel based on a painting originally commissioned by Mr. Lockwood in 1867. Ms. Ingis incorporates her skills of drawing and painting into her illustrative work, her fine art and portraits. Her sought-after-award winning work is represented in private collections, galleries, museums and corporations in the states and abroad. She is represented by Agora Gallery on-line, Rockwell Art Galleries in CT, the permanent collection of Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum, permanent collection of the United States Professional Tennis Association, and permanent collection of the University of New Haven. Artist Statement My art, my passion, is characterized by solid drawings and vibrant, energetic, heartfelt colors. I express life experiences in my work at home or traveling. It does not matter if I paint plein air (outdoor) or indoor. Outdoors, I look for the sun’s rays of pink and amber creeping across the meadow, catching the magic hour when lights are warm and reflected light is bouncing in the cool shadows. Sunrise and sunset sweep the rainbow colors across the skies. Atmospheric landscapes have a beauty that often goes unrealized. Rich purples, yellows and blues on a rainy, foggy day are subtle, but magnificent. God’s heaven on earth. Indoors, I have a myriad of subjects to paint. I have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photos, my own. They are recordings of people, places and things that are inspirational. It is thrilling to watch a blank canvas evolve into work-of-art. Presently I reside on the coast of Connecticut with water surrounds, rolling hills, marshes and meadows. There are never-ending subjects. My husband Tom is worthy of my gratitude for working with me on this journey.

  1. Interesting questions. Orwell wrote an interesting book and I suppose there’s some truth to it today. I look back at what the FBI tried to do to Martin Luther King and wonder. That said, the bigger concern in my mind is the apathy and ignorance of most Americans. We vote based on slogans and good PR campaigns or party affiliation without regard to facts.

    • You are on target Bob. Unless you are involved with politics, the lazy way is to follow those slogans and campaigns. Don’t you think we are kept in the dark? For Orwell, his foresight was amazing, don’t you think? Do you think Luther was setup by the FBI? Thanks for your probing comments.
