Original Contemporary And Modern Art

"As an artist, I have to trust the process. There is no other way to create. Creativity is an ecology in which all of the senses enrich one another-Listening to music, being aware of different movement patterns and their vibrations directly affects rhythm, movement, and brushstrokes in a painting. I paint with my whole body, always standing in front of the canvas, moving back and forth to view each new application of paint: it is almost a dance.I love acrylic medium because it allows me to paint quickly. Other mediums I incorporate in my work are charcoal, oil pastel, and collage.Most of my paintings are pure abstractions-of nature, the figure, or meditative visions. My paintings are varied, because each creation evolves as I evolve.
