The work of artist Mary Blair has long been an inspiration for me. I marvel at the knowledge of colour she brought to her pieces. Mary Blair worked as an artist at the Disney Studios, and as an illustrator for children's books, ads, and designed theatrical sets. I learned a lot about shape and colour from spending a lot of time staring at her work. I remember how awed I was when I opened my copy of the Illusion of Life, the animator's bible, and saw her paintings and inspirational drawings for Disney films. I'm grateful for the archive of her work, there's just so much to draw from.
