Baby Turtle Print

"I saw the angel in te marble and carved until I set him free" -Michelangelo I dont necessarily see the angel in the canvas, rather I feel it. Finding most of my creative flow within the wildlife genera, I developed a way to sculpt, define, &build volume with paint, layer by layer. creating a beautifyl play of light and shadow, filled with unexpected colors side by side. It's a dance, a push and pull until the form becomes whole. I find my wildlife subjects to have soulful eyes, and once I become mesmerized, the painting is complete.There is a large zen element in my approach to painting. Each time I step up to my canvas to paint, I step up as I am in the moment, what I painted yesterday does not matter. To learn to connect and to flow whith what I am painting in the moment, yet to still be able to be objective. Enabling me to push the boundaries of what into is possible with layers, color, texture, brush movement, and size. I find such a sense of peace in my creative pursuits; art is a way of life. Lovejoy creations Lovejoy creations was started in1998 as my online portfolio. I have been attracted to the arts from a very early age, thought I did not choose to pursue art as my career until I painted the gorilla in 1997. It was wit hat painting that I found the " timeless space of creation", a place where my emotions translate to paint. After graduating from savannah college of art and design, I landed in Sedona, AZ and spent the next seven years developing my style with the palette knife, and bold use of color. The community embraced my style and supported my evolution. Sedona is home to my largest public mural, " A Timeless Day in Sedona" 50x7 ft.
