I offer a window to my creative journey. I relish the freedom of no right or wrong way to create. Art simply invites the desire for free expression without boundaries.
My Happy Places
‘My Happy Place’ is combined with 'My Sedona' series. It
is a collection of paintings. They all examine the places that art can take us. It can be a color, an experience, an imaginary place, memory of a place; a place in our dreams, or a real one. I wanted to create the world I enjoy and encourage others to join.
During Sedona summer colony residency, in the summer of 2018, I experimented with the local sands and whatever nature got to offer in this amazing landscape, I made a serious of small boards that captured the local texture and colors. Few months after a week of art residency in Sedona Arizona, I examined my memory of the mountains forms, shapes, and colors to create 'Abstraction Scape’ series. Using the local sand and my memory of a place I much enjoyed, I invite the viewer to join.
MORE ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE:
I start by building texture with a variety of materials on canvas. Then, I keep adding layers of colors until I see the right composition. I use a lot of water with pigment. The water can reach all the small cracks to enhance the texture and the colors underneath.
