Light is one of the fundamental
elements that make images attractive in art. I have loved experimenting with portraying light and how it interacts with our
memory and senses. I love seeing how the camera captures light. In my Metro series, I have found photographs that capture
the light as it dominates a dark, urban space and I replicate them with paint on canvas. The subway, bus stops, busy intersections
vibrate with the accent of light. This ongoing study yields pleasing results. Starting with the darkness, I add the light
back in, reminding us that it is the light in which we delight. I have been really enjoying
celebrating the little things in creation. Birds and rabbits are easily overlooked, or never seen. Through the eyes of my
little children I have rediscovered these creatures and how lovely and special they are. The shapes of these animals lend
themselves to study and experimentation. I love playing with the environment they sit in, and delight in how joyful the finished
product becomes. I have a very special place for sharing art with everyone, and being able to create tasteful and decorative
pieces of art. I hope these small pieces can bring smiles to young and old, the
new art patron and the seasoned collector. |
