ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Luminous Seas was inspired by my love of the South Pacific and Caribbean Seas. The waters seem to glow with light from beneath the surface. Also, I am heavily influenced by the form and balance in the compositions of paintings by Rothko. I am not trying to copy Rothko as much as I am trying to make my interpretations of his works in colors that fuel my passion. I use layers of watercolor and acrylic washes to create the effect of light radiating from beneath the surface. This painting is gallery wrapped and wired for immediate installation. I hope the viewer feels peace, calmness and a sense of well-being in the presence of this piece.

Born and raised in Louisiana, but now 30 years in Texas, I am happy to say that I am a full time artist. Painting has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I spent time doing other art forms such as interior design and decorative painting, but I came to realize that my true love was painting pictures on canvas. Abstract art has always fascinated me. It is the style that I am drawn to most and want to surround myself with. I have experimented with different types of materials, composition and styles. Vivid colors excite me, but I also like to work with soothing blue and greens. I consider myself a color-field artist. That is, most of my works are centered around one predominant color. Lately my works are getting more complex, though. I love working large. My largest canvas is 6 feet by 7 feet. Making big pieces is my preference, but I am trying to make smaller art now too. I have preferred acrylics over oils for many years now. I feel that this is better for the earth and better for my health! I love to blend the water based products that I use like oil. It is a challenge but it works out nicely. Before I begin a piece, I do a small study on paper with pastels. The pastels blend beautifully! Then the real challenge comes when I reproduce the study onto a large canvas. Sometimes the final result is very close to the study and sometimes it becomes something else entirely! It is fun to see where the process leads me. Good surprises happen and that keeps me inspired and motivated.
