When she lived and worked in the Boston area, artist Kristin Selesnick (@kristin4242) found that she engaged with nature primarily through the windshield of her car. Inspired, she began painting landscapes of her environment as seen by a car-bound commuter. She has since moved to New Hampshire, but has continued to depict the landscape from the driver’s seat. She discusses her interest in landscape painting, why New England has captured her imagination, and why there are endless possibilities for painting the world from within the confines of a car at theamericanscholar.org . . . #TheAmericanScholar #AmericanScholar #AmScho #artist #painter #art #paints #painting #colorful #colors #🎨

This week #TheAmericanScholar features artist #SonaliKhatti. While a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, she studied textile design and experimented with felting, a process of beating wool. Later, she decided to pursue fine art and has been making felted-wool paintings ever since. Here, she describes her artistic process and what inspires her most about landscapes. "It’s frustrating that when a man works cloth, it’s seen as something new. Women have been doing it forever."
