Pause Painting

There was once a little girl whose nose was buried in a fairy tale and her head was in the clouds with fantastical creatures. With Art making I find myself closer than ever to that little girl, where there is magic in the creation, where known and unknown creatures appear, where fantasy lands are seen. Every new artwork is an anticipation of what the canvas will choose to reveal. I've always loved the abstract and I've always been interested in differences. I love it when dinner plates and serving bowls don't match and when different flowers grow out of the same pot. I love curvy and jagged lines because it feels like they're leading somewhere different. I love the worn-out, distressed look because it's so interesting to see glimpses of the journey to the present. I love how intense green vines grow over rusty gates and especially love moss and tiny plants that grow on old brick walls. In my self-work I've been exploring replacing the 'or' with an 'and' and that's what I hope to bring into my art as well. I love using non-brush art tools and I love mark-making. There's a particular taste in the mouth when love, joy, and passion collide and Art does that for me.
