Nibblefest Artist Interview: Roopa Dudley

Artist Roopa Dudley

How long have you been creating art (and/or) selling it online?

I have been creating art since I was in Kindergarten. I started selling in 2011 as a Chess Painter.

How did you first hear about Nibblefest and when did you first start Nibblefesting?

I learned about Nibblefest accidentally when I stumbled upon Art Of Patience – Artist’s Page of Patience. Then I looked over at the rules and decided to join in.

What do you enjoy about Nibblefest?

I enjoy the whimsical themes that Nibblefest lets us participate in. It really gets my creative juices flowing and I feel a sense of accomplishment by being able to produce small paintings that usually end up being sold. I have met an art collector who now is a dear friend of mine just by competing every now and then on Nibblefest. I really like the concept behind this. Although, I would prefer it more if they raise the minimum bid to $4.99.

Who are your Favorite artistic influences?

I am heavily influenced by the art of M.C Escher, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio de Chirico, Marc Chagall, Frieda Kahlo, Tamara De Lempicka, Edward Hopper and Rene Magritte.

Tell us something interesting about you that many people online don't already know.

I am Sapiosexual.

What is your favorite Nibblefest ever sold?

Epicurean Vortex a small 6”x 6” painting is my favorite to date that I have sold. It was my first outer space painting as well and I bejeweled it so basically my first mixed media painting too.

What would be your Nibblefest dream theme?

I like the versatility that Nibblefest offers when it comes to themes. I would say Enchanted Forest and Robots would be my dream theme.

I have two incomplete Four Seasons painting that I am looking forward to finishing and have been slacking off on those.
Another one is “Crypto-Knight’s Trophy”. This is my most graphic painting to date.

Where can people find your work?

My work is available on my website: RoopaDudley.com

Somewhere in your auction please say something like:

"This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month. Please be sure to search for NFAC to see more great entries, each starting at just $0.99. Thanks!"

You may also include the clickable banner to link to the other NFAC auctions. This is completely optional. Follow this link for instructions on how to do that: https://nibblefest.blogspot.com/2020/10/clickable-banner-link.html

The word NFAC must be included in the title for search purposes.

You may enter up to three artworks.

All listings are to comply with eBay regulations and completed in the usual way. If you sell for a low price, you must complete the deal. No shilling (e.g. no using fake ebay accounts, or soliciting people to fraudulently drive up bids)! Also, please do not make bidder ids private - this keeps things transparent and fair.

The winner will be judged on the most individual bidders received during the auction (each bidder is counted once), the prize is an award graphic (see photos). Second and third place winners will also be announced and will receive a graphic. Only one award per person is given with the exception of The Big Chomp Award which goes to the entry that receives the highest dollar amount (regardless if they've won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd).

Entries not in compliance with the rules will be disqualified.

Please note: Participating in Nibblefest gives administrators permission to use your Nibblefest entry images in the award graphics (credit is given at the bottom of the graphic as ebay user ID), on our Nibblefest blog (credit is always given for each image), and in the clickable banner (the clickable banner always contains small images of the entries from the previous month's top 3 winners).
