A few weeks back I went to see this fantastic show at the NYBG featuring Dale Chihuly, an American artist who’s mastered the translucent and transparent qualities of ice, water, glass, and neon. He creates works of art that transform the everyday experience. It was spectacular to see the installation illuminated at night. Above is […]

Learning doesn’t end when recess begins in the Bedigian home. This week we’re exploring creation myths on how the universe was born. One of my all time favorites is “The World Turtle” where the universe was created (and carried) on the back of a turtle’s shell. So as you can imagine we’re living, breathing and […]

So the boys went boating yesterday, the 4th of July, with their Dad and their Grandpa, and it reminded me of this piece I did about a year ago in Newport, Rhode Island (a frequent family destination). I did it originally on site as an exercise for “One Watercolor a Day”, a follow-up to our […]

The New York Botanical Gardens provide an educational gardening program now called ‘The Edible Academy’ my children have been attending since they were three. Last week was the end of the spring session and my favorite day … HARVESTING! They each harvested what they planted earlier in the season to take home and eat, or […]

This was a drawing for a fiber-art piece I did for a group show a few years back at Mystic Seaport entitled ‘Restoring a Past, Charting a Future’. Seems pretty contemporary considering the divisive challenges we’re all facing globally these days. Keep faith.– Michele fiber art/michele bedigian

It’s dawn here in New York, Wednesday May 10th and I’m up earlier than the rest. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee is a graceful addition to the colors of the sun rising over the skyline. I feel an inner peace as the first sip touches my lip and wonder what will make this day […]

California is one of my favorite places to visit. While doing some spring cleaning this week I found a sketchbook just filled with studies for paintings I had from a trip to Big Sur. Between the Red Woods and the ocean edge of the Pacific coast it can feel like a mythical landscape filtered with an […]

Throughout the year there are these Sunday afternoon’s when the New York Philharmonic perform these fantastic concerts for children ages 3- 6. With ensembles of strings, brass, and woodwinds they teach them an introductory overview of what makes up the entire orchestra. It’s incredible! Through movement, singing, and humor my little guys are hooked and can’t wait for the next one! […]

I was having a conversation with my 5 year old about faces this morning during breakfast and was inspired to draw his while he was watching the Rescue Bots. A little indulgence filled with a ton of love. I can’t believe how fast time is moving!! Warms my heart and freaks me out all at the […]

There are few things in life that I have more passion for than when I’m drawing, (with the exception of my children) .. in essence talking on paper. There’s something about the surprises that make it even that much more appetizing, more adventurous. When a mark appears that’s unpredictable but completely makes sense next to the one I drew 30 seconds beforehand […]
