This is Me
I gloriously spread paint across a blank canvas communicating my awe with these amazing materials. How to turn feeling into a vision on a flat surface? The only way I know to do it is be excited!
That green I smear makes me excited when it touches that blue I added just minutes before. And I drag my tools over the paint waiting for a signal that will guide me about what to do next.
I want to share this wonder with you, I want you to connect and response. What do you see and feel?
I live in the land of Carolina blue skies, lovely North Carolina! Rivers and streams and greens - many greens.
And now, I paint. With a degree in Art, but a need for a steady income, I worked in the corporate world for 25 years. Night and weekends I painted, trying to work out just what I want to say, and why I want to say it with paint. I never have had a clear answer as to WHY? But I am drawn to the canvas and paint again and again. I kept plugging along through the years when I could only focus on it part time.
For the past six years I have finally been able to paint full time - and every day I explore my WHY? And everyday I return and play in color and light. I see the light coming through foliage, or the mountain vistas and I am called to create. I search for a way to interpret something beautiful in a way that allows others to respond from their own experiences.
My desire is to create beautiful paintings that you will look at again and again.
