Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 24"h x 24"w
I've been laid off twice in the past three years from a career that has otherwise been stable and fulfilling for over twenty years of my life. It's been a very challenging few years and this prayer really resonates with me lately as I continue to navigate new chapters in my life. My voice is literally brought to life on canvas as I record and paint my own voice modulations . . . combining two of the five senses and creating artistic visualizations by designing a work of art around an audio sound wave!
Bio:
After relocating to Northern Kentucky over twenty years ago I quickly adopted the area as home. Being surrounded by fine art it naturally became an important part of my life. As a young adult I turned to photography and enjoyed a brief career as a photographer, but after tiring of portraits and a studio atmosphere I decided it was best a hobby while I focused on other pursuits.
I remained creative and explored other techniques. Using non-traditional media to create beautiful works of art became a preferred, if unexpected, theme in my work. Finally, I discovered acrylics, incorporating found objects as an alternative method of applying mediums to my canvas. Simple household items became assistants to my brushes and palette knives.
My art is a collision of texture and color, evoking feelings of deep thought and positivity. I focus and plan every painting before I ever pick up my brush. Every piece is a tiny adventure awaiting the right explorer to come along. From creations that make you do a double take…to art that reinvigorates your appreciation for the mystique. I hope to bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart!"
