Abstract Art and Me

I have always loved bright colors and movement, along with contrasts of dark and light. I've been in a dark and moody place, lately. So the bottom line is the feeling and message that I want to convey through the mediums I use and art I choose or create should be bold and reflective of how I feel, or want to feel. When I paint, or create I attempt is to capture the feel of warmth, passion, joy and bliss in none objective or figurative composition. I enjoy experimentation of different media and subjects.

My subject or interests varies based on my emotion and statement but my love for colors is constant. In spite of this, viewers see different forms or figures in my abstract expressions. The good thing about these expressions is the freedom of the viewers to see and appreciate the forms in their mind's eyes. Its also important to mention that I appreciate all forms of arts and crafts, I enjoy painting, knitting, crochet and have dabbled in jewelry making, quilting/sewing and sculpting. My style I would say is eclectic. And has played a major role in my life. I chose pieces or create art that speaks to me. I enjoy abstract and realism.

People see all sorts of different forms or images in abstract art, for instance, the depth of what you actually see when you look at the paintings is partly based on individual exposure, where they are in life and how they may be feeling. Understanding of art forms, color, shapes, line and texture; which are the physical elements that combine to make up the artworks.

A selection of different dark hues, shapes and forms may give various impressions to different minds; light, airy images as mystical; balanced, temperate forms as peaceful. Uli organic art forms and shape are symbolical such as colors and forms have meaning in and of themselves. It is a simple truth that you can't give what you don't have. I am a believer and my work time is also a meditation time, which can go either way depending on the spiritual consciousness of the creative mind.

To me, my work section is an intimate moment between I, canvas and colors. At this creative moment there is a spiritual impartation from the artist to the Art. Hence the emotional reaction to these elements even if they create no recognizable object for us to hang onto.

I enjoy the inclusion and deletion of space. Decorating and curating my space and showcasing various pieces at different times depending on the time of year or how I feel. I enjoy pieces that draw you in, because the handling of space or the illusion of space is another powerful element in the artist's mind. If you are drawn into a yard of three-dimensional space stretching beyond the framework of the painting to sculpture, you are not alone. The impression of depth, perspective, airiness, solidity, textures and other spatial relations are created and controlled to achieve a desired goal.

I must admit, most of my figurative compositions is a celebration of womanhood, many of the pieces I chose, celebrate the female form.

I take pride in the feeling and reactions of viewers to my creations or collections. I feel blessed.

Energy is the life force that is present in all good art, this is how I know I have some good pieces. This is not something that is easily defined. It is this peculiar energy that makes a work speak to you, and makes them unique, original and identifiable to me. This energy is created out of experience and self-awareness, materials and tools, but the end is more than the means in the same sense that a musical composition is so much more than a collection of notes.

You are welcome into my world of abstract wall art or modern art, relax and let your eye leisurely wander over the collection of verities of art forms and styles. Let your heart and mind react to my colors, shapes, figures and textures. Come and spoil yourself a little in the illusion of vibrant spaces, and how I chose to create a mood with atmosphere that makes a house a home.
