Fresh Cut #1 Painting

I am an abstract painter born, raised and living in New Orleans. Artist statement- “Are we there yet?” This is what I ask myself when I paint. Abstract painting allows me the space and time to explore and create through shapes and colors, and when the journey is complete, the painting is “there”. I love the process of creating a painting because from start to finish, you don’t know where it will take you. The movement created by the shapes and colors takes the viewer on an adventure, and each painting is a different experience for different people at different times. I love the hidden treasures within each piece, but also that each piece is a cohesive whole. The freedom and creativity of abstract painting allows me to discover new feelings and new places every time I put paint to canvas.
