Shimmying About Painting

I am abstract expressionist artist living in San Diego, California with my husband and two kids. I strive to create art that give the impression of spontaneity by using a mingling of colors, shape and form. Bold shapes and composition choices are reflections of my experience as a graphic artist and multi-media designer. My creative process is one that rarely starts with a piece or vision in mind. I prefer to let it develop through a continuous process of addition and subtraction, a sort of a visual conversation going on between myself and the materials I am working with – a comment and response. For example, a piece may start with the “topic” being a particular color palate but then shift to form or line or space as the piece or conversation progresses. I am always fascinated by the endless resulting possibilities from mixing the various elements of design, never quite knowing what you are going to get until you see it through.
