Bowl of Hope — Noelle Galicia
Inspiration / About the Art: There were several ideas that I had in mind for creating my piece for the Penny Experiment project, all with a similar theme tying them together: Food and Hope. I sketched a girl looking down a wishing well. A panhandler’s tin can with a single penny in it. A graffiti wall in an inner city neighborhood conveying some meaningful message. A homeless person heartily eating out of a bowl. The final art work ended up being the latter when my boyfriend sat down to eat a bowl of cereal. He had me snap photos of him (he was such a good sport) and then I later developed a drawing from one of the photos. The penny is positioned inside the bowl itself to symbolize hope for the hungry.
Materials: pen and ink, grey marker, watercolor
Size: 6 inches x 8 inches
About the Artist: Noelle Galicia was born and raised in the Philippines, and is currently living in Seattle WA to continue her career in Architecture. She is a self-taught artist with no real formal training in fine arts. She loves architecture, but art has always been her first passion. She’s been drawings since she was a kid and it’s always been one of her feel-good activities. Whenever she finds inspiration, she tries to reconnect with her artist self.
