One Step Forward, Ten Steps Back Painting

Mine is a world of color, intuition and wonder. Drawing upon heart-felt memories and ordinary moments, I am inspired to create images that reflect these feelings. I am a contemporary abstract painter and my chosen medium is acrylic. Working through the searching process of layering, excavating and revealing, I create multi-layered paintings that evoke a sense of peace and beauty. I start with a loose composition of shapes, transforming the piece through many stages. Balancing the physical act of painting with creative decision-making, I incorporate mark making and strive to maintain the energy of my first efforts. Staying true to these first efforts allows me to stay in touch with my most authentic work. I was introduced to painting at age seven by my grandmother. I hold a BFA in graphic design and an MA in Sociology. My studio can be found at the Canopy artist complex at 916 Springdale Road in Austin, TX. I am represented by Artworks Gallery and Art Direct, both in Austin; Son of a Sailor in San Antonio, TX and Envy Interiors in Baton Rouge, LA. I am committed to a life making and celebrating art. I invite you to follow my work and exhibition schedule at , Flemings Art on Facebook and on Instagram.
