ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What/who inspired the work? I am constantly rethinking Rothko inspired works and modernizing them for today's interiors. My favorite era of artists is the 20th midcentury abstract expressionists, and I am stuck there for now. I live in a Midcentury house and I go on Midcentury house tours. The vibe is from the lighter "don't take things too seriously" side. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? To me this piece combines the serenity of today's minimal gray-white interiors where designers fear bravery of any kind but perhaps in an artwork like this that brings in one wild color - in this case, bright red. I feel like this painting has the look of a print, which I appreciate. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? Because acrylic work on paper is my favorite way to work. This painting is done with a gray background and red undercoat. The top band is textural gray and black and red. The middle band is an electric red and the bottom is a black. I've allowed edges of my red undercoat to remain showing. Gray and Bright Red and Black Midcentury Modern Contemporary Original Painting Mark Rothko Style 18x24 on paper This is my original painting done using modern monotones, and red in the style of the great Midcentury modern artist, Mark Rothko.

Welcome to my Saatchi online gallery! I have done many styles of art for several decades, including Asian brush stroke ink painting, and midcentury abstract expressionism. I'm constantly exploring new subjects, materials, and methods. My yoga and meditation practices influence my art style, through which I hope to impart tranquility, peace, and playfulness. My preferred mediums are acrylic, ink, graphite, and watercolor on paper. I love to work on flat, white paper, which gives paintings an effect one cannot achieve on canvas — plus, it affords the opportunity to add a stunning frame. The music I listen to when I create art ranges from Native American drumming to Tibetan and Gregorian chants, Vivaldi, and singers like Leonard Cohen and Loreena McKennitt. Approximately two hundred of my paintings have been sold to people across the U.S., Britain, and Canada. My work has been exhibited in galleries in Colorado and Nebraska. I joined Saatchi in 2023. Thank you for stopping by. ......................................................... To follow me on Instagram, go here: .........................................................
