Lossing is influenced by her background in screenprinting and love for textile design. Her process begins with a rough sketch in Photoshop, and uses layers to build her work up into a more finalised drawing. Then, she chooses a color palette and through trial and error settles on a scheme. Lossing describes her style as shape based and simple with a focus on the human form, limited color palettes, and nature inspired motifs. She takes inspiration from Matisse. Her work seeks to depict simple shapes and ordinary humans in hopes that her audience sees themselves in the art. Links:Reactions:1. I really enjoyed reading this article. I especially liked the part of the article detailing her process. Lossing says sometimes ideas come naturally while others are more laborious. She also mentions that although a lot of her work is dictated by her client, she notes the importance of being true to yourself and dedicating time for personal work.
2. This article is rather short, and briefly details a general summary of Lossing's work and biography. What makes this article especially valuable is the work attached to the end. I would not have encountered this work otherwise. You can especially see Lossing's background with patterns and background design here; each work has layered patterns and it's interesting to see how the objects interact with each other. 3. This interview got me to really think about other careers as artists. My most common perception of working artists are those with gallery representation or big canvas work. However, this interview really opened my eyes to how artists make money by working freelance.
