ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This series is inspired by my love of water, the ocean and swimming. I have always lived near water and appreciate its ability to bring feelings of serenity, rejuvenation and connectedness with the divine. With these paintings, I hope the viewer can bring these feelings to their interior spaces and experience them daily. I love the immense quiet of swimming under water and the feeling of looking up at the light coming through the layers of water. The Euphotic zone is the upper layer of water into which sunlight is able to penetrate. I am fascinated by the affects of sunlight traveling through water and find it incredibly peaceful. I am fascinated by the effects of light traveling through water. I am also fascinated by the effects that can be created using different types of paint and various types of paint application. I use a combination of fluid acrylics and medium body acrylics, often letting the paint colors mix and mingle on the surface of the canvas which creates delightful organic shapes. I don’t start a painting with an end result in mind, rather I start with a feeling I want to create and the painting evolves as I respond intuitively to what is happening on the canvas.

Original acrylic painting on heavy duty gallery wrapped canvas, sides 1.5 inches deep and painted gray. Can be hung without a frame. Comes wired and ready to hang.

Varnished to protect from light and dirt. Signed on the back.

I grew up in Connecticut and spent my childhood enjoying the natural beauty of the New England Coast area. I have always loved to paint, draw and take photos. I'm drawn to nature; the color, shapes, textures and ever changing light of the natural world provide me with endless inspiration. I paint primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, paper or wood panel, but also incorporate pencil, marker, pastel, watercolor, gouache and collage paper in my mixed media pieces. In my abstract work, nature is a jumping off point for exploring patterns, colors, texture and movement. I work intuitively, often starting with an automatic drawing, then layering with mark making and pouring paint. I respond to how the paint moves, the shapes interact and the colors harmonize, and from there I develop the composition. Painting is a meditative experience that allows me to be fully present in the moment.
