Achill Bogwood Sculptures

Westport Exhibition

Liam Kelly is a talented sculptor; his creations ignite the imagination. Originally from Achill Island, Liam mastered his craft by sculpting a resource that his family used for fuel—bogwood. His sculptures have a nice fluidity and appear as though the wood has been carved with the natural flow of the grain, transforming it into a sight to behold. The way in which he displays his work in a space provides evidence of his awareness of depth perception and of the fact that one object can transform the feel of the room. He clearly appreciates and celebrates nature’s gift of bogwood with his sculptures.

 Image is everything, and seeing is believing. Please view Liam Kelly’s Achill bogwood sculptures below.

Please share your response to Liam’s remarkable bogwood sculptures or any questions that you may have. We are always excited about your participation. If you like this post and other posts, please join our site for updates.

A creative career can be a challenge to navigate. However, with proper planning, success is achievable. It is vital to avoid thinking small. An open mind, an active imagination, and creative thinking are all necessary for a fulfilling, creative career journey. It is important to understand oneself completely before determining a career path. A creative professional should set aside time to assess her or his learning style and communication style. It is vital to explore and learn about a number of careers and professional industries, because this process broadens the scope of career possibilities.

Networking for the Creative Professional Part 1

Business: Networking•Published: October 15, 2012

Networking is the topic of many professional discussions and business courses because it is vital to success. Networking should be a part of the art curriculum. Art college teaches many necessary skills to strengthen our natural creative ability. We take courses that broaden our social and cultural perspectives and gain knowledge of the masters that came before us. Going to college to earn an art degree is greatly beneficial; however, many artists struggle to find relevant careers that pay enough to support their ideal lifestyles. In this article, I provide the information needed to grow and maintain a network that is beneficial for all parties involved.

Networking for Creative Professionals Part 2

Business: Networking•Published: October 11, 2012

As the Boy Scouts say, "Be prepared." Remember to plan each time before you attend a networking event. If possible, acquire a guest list of attendees. Decide in advance whom you want meet and create a strategy that leads to you meeting the people you identified. Do a bit of research on the event and be knowledgeable about your industry's trends and updates. Have business cards to hand out. Your self-image is important; therefore, dress appropriately.

ROI - A Guide for Artists and Creative Professionals

Starving artists, starve no more! You read correctly: It is no longer necessary for artists to starve, because with the proper plan and investment in place, you will be well on your way to a lucrative career and notoriety. You deserve it, don't you? Well, I think you do. Artists are among the greatest innovative thinkers in history (think Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Albrecht Durer), and today's artists continue to be among the great innovative thinkers (think Stan Lee, Tim Burton, and Franz Fischnaller).

Think Outside the Word

Self Improvement: Achievement•Published: September 25, 2012

What does it mean to "think outside the word"? It means everything creative and anything imaginable. I find that people who choose to live the philosophy of "think outside the word" are usually happier and more successful. To follow this philosophy means to seek out an understanding of how our brains function. In gaining a greater understanding of the complexity of the human brain, we discover endless opportunities to succeed and problem-solve. I always encourage everyone to read books and attend classes focusing on the conscious and subconscious. It has been my experience that those who choose to strategically feed information into their minds have a distinct advantage over those who do not.

Rise Above the Sea of Names (Social Media for Creative Professionals)

Business: Networking•Published: September 20, 2012

Now more than in the past, we have many ways to communicate and make vital connections. Social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter provide access to people who were once nearly impossible to reach. However, the aforementioned resources on hand must be navigated strategically. Often, Twitters and the constant flow of information into our smart devices, tablets, and computers can feel like information overload. We should use social media wisely.

Self-Marketing For an Artist/Creative Professionals

Arts and Entertainment•Published: September 14, 2012

For many artists, college graduation can be a bit of a false start because you may have a degree, which suggests the credentials of a professional, but landing a well-paying art career seems close to impossible. However, there is hope for the "starving artist." If you are willing to work hard and stay positive, self-marketing can be the difference between barely surviving and successful striving. For all of you creative professionals who desire to live up to your potential, you must develop self-marketing skills.
