RHEA Painting

My art is my outlet for my thoughts, emotions, and desires. The images I create are reflective of personal experiences, fears, joys, and interests. I enjoy the process of thinking “out-of-the-box” – in the design, and both the materials and tools used to create the piece. For me art is collaborative in simply viewing the work. A relationship develops between the viewer, the painting, and by extension, the artist. I am just as curious about the experience as a viewer, as they may be about my experience as the creator. For me this is the convergence of two worlds, and the reason find such joy in the creation and sharing of my art. I can communicate with the viewer, via my art, experiences, thoughts, and emotions that I may not be able to put into words. In exchange, they can verbalize the same with the visual prompt of the work. The beauty of the whole process is that their feelings and interpretation as the viewer is often completely different than mine as the creator.
