Artist Spotlight: Autumn Cobeland (Greenway Artist)

Autumn Cobeland is a painter, muralist, triathlete, and Raleigh native. She holds a degree in Fine Arts and studied art in Florence, Italy. Her prints and paintings can be seen in galleries, shops, and private collections both nationally and internationally. Autumn has created a series of paintings devoted to the Triangle Greenway System, and she donates a percentage of the proceeds from print sales to the support of local greenways.  Her studio is located in Artspace in downtown Raleigh.

As an artist, Autumn's medium is paint. There is a term in the Japanese language “wabi sabi”  it means (roughly) a celebration and appreciation for human-made objects that have imperfections.  In our digital, computerized world, it is possible to create images to near perfection, clean lines, bright colors, and clear edges.  Autumn is a painter, so the idea of spending hours in front of a computer to design her art is not nearly as appealing as playing with the color mixtures and placing brush to paper or canvas and developing some “wabi sabi” results.
