This painting was created in response to my trip to Egypt.\u00a0 I was facinated with the explanations that were shared by the Egyptologist regarding the hieroglyphs.\u00a0 Their language is was all in images.\u00a0 Each image represented words and letters.\u00a0 For an artist this is like candy.\u00a0 The obsessive collaging was the beginning point for this painting.\u00a0 Then the contour drawing of the cranes, which in their culture represent the creation of life. It was really the beginning of my exploration into the surface becoming more abstracted.\u00a0 After the drawings I began to play with the shapes and spaces which gave the painting depth.\u00a0 Layers and layers of collage helped to determine the places to paint into.\u00a0 Such a different place in the brain to work from.\u00a0 Love this process.<\/p>\n
This Collection of\u00a0 abstract paintings, which will be an on going collection, is in response to my own feelings about literal interpretations through my work vs. this process oriented approach to a canvas.\u00a0 I am finding that the acrylic abstract paintings begins to speak to me, tells me stories about their meanings after I am finished.\u00a0 Sometimes the stories grow and change without ever touching them any further.\u00a0 With the way the human experience is unfolding, it is difficult to put into words, as well as on canvas, how colorful magic can express the state of affairs in literal terms. It is a gift that has been bestowed upon me to create stories through this medium.\u00a0 I believe art buyers and art collectors will enjoy spending time contemplating these paintings depicting Juxtapositions of Life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
