<\/a>While many artists imbue their work with deep emotional nuances and symbolic inspiration, Osborne says that there is nothing like this in her work\u2014she just wants to create beautiful pieces.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s some artists that are infusing their work with symbolism or meaning, and I\u2019m not,\u201d she admits. \u201cI am what I am, and it\u2019s not meant to be anything more than aesthetically pleasing. If someone was analyzing what my intentions were, they\u2019re not going to find the answer to the question. It\u2019s just me trying to make something that\u2019s beautiful and interesting and fluid. I want people to see somebody just being creative. There is no hidden meaning in what I\u2019m doing, but a lot of times it is very soothing and almost like a meditation if you sort of get the right light, and changing light on my work, it can kind of make you lose the hectic world around you, and you can just be quiet and calm with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osborne says that she likes to use form and perspective to bring her art into the third dimension, which creates a new viewing experience from every angle at which it is viewed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith two-dimensional works, you have one point of view,\u201d she says. \u201cWith my stuff, if you\u2019re looking at something straight on you get one point of view, but as you move past it, or as you look at it from different angles, it changes the point of view, and I\u2019m exploring that more and more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osborne started her art career after spending 18 years displaying others\u2019 art on the walls of her restaurant, and desiring to create something that fit the aesthetic better. In 2020, just before the pandemic hit, she sold her bistro and moved into creating art full time. Osborne says that this has been an unusual journey as an artist, because she has not had any formal training, and she\u2019s just winging it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve lived the evolution of something that was a surprise to me, because I have no training. I\u2019m just a one-man band with a band saw and a bench sander and I\u2019m constantly trying to push the envelope of what I\u2019ve started. The journey started in a surprising way, and I\u2019ve been driving the bus without a map,\u201d she says. \u201cI think it\u2019s a unique story, and inspiring perhaps to people that don\u2019t feel that they\u2019re creative, because I never would have guessed 15 years ago that I would be doing this today. If I hadn\u2019t just taken the plunge and given it a try, who knows what I\u2019d be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
