Lake Tupke Painting

I find inspiration in nature, art, design and life experiences. My art is an abstracted expression of space, form and movement extending beyond present time and place. I work to express the yin and yang of life, ranging from the tough to the sublime, from turmoil to tranquility. My color palette leans toward blues, greens, and other cool tones with splashes of warm, vibrant hues. I tend to paint thinly in some areas, increasing thickness for contrast and emphasis. My primary medium is acrylic. I often integrate fabric, paper, glass, beads and other materials for texture and complexity of expression.
