ABOUT HER ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
As an abstract artist, I live each day taking in all the wonders that is a part of my environment. I am inspired to create my own utopia which is deconstructed into what appears to be a picturesque world. My favorite medium to use is acrylic paints but I am inclined to use other materials such as Georgia red clay and Encaustic paints.
When I am working on the idea of a landscape, I carve, scrape and cut into the surface. I build layer upon layer, creating texture upon texture, each one telling a story of what was, what can be and what will be. When viewing my work, my goal is for the observer to find meaning that is both unique and personal to them.
I love to create all art in any medium. It gives me joy to see my students execerise their creativty using their own imaginations.
