SWIRLING IN PINK:
In the simplicity of these pink swirls lie twists and bends of acrylic meeting oil, with two different brushes – one for white and one for pink. Like a bud, it starts out tight and then swirls get bolder, almost like the sea in a full-blown tempest OR like a rose in full bloom — looking its most perfect, just before a gust of wind starts to take its petals away – one after the other.
THE ARTIST: on why she makes art -
I express, therefore I am. Art is therapy for my soul and its an expression of where I have been, where I am and where I want to go. Its an expression of equally dreams fulfilled and dreams shattered — an expression of unleashing the beauty that lies in experiences that led to joy and those others that were lessons, painfully learned. When I look at color, it reaches out to me like tongues of a flame, wanting to engulf me a trance where I can meditate and look into the inner recesses of my mind and my heart. It takes me to a place where I can listen carefully and mindfully to silence. Its my safe haven yet its also my playground and its the unleashing of my intensity – including anger. Within my art and my creative expression, I hope to lend every emotion a safe ambience to express itself in its naked form — no emotion holds labels of negative and positive, light and dark. Every emotion can just be. It is my hope that by creating acceptance for all my emotions, I create and craft an unconditional acceptance of me. And, through me – of others. In the mingling of color, the stroke of brush and nib, in the change of texture when water and oil touch the surface of plain, stretched canvas, in the smell of linseed and the waft floating out of just opened ink — in all of this and more, my soul finds love, hope, faith and peace.
