About The Artwork

Mixed Media piece, part of my newest series ‘SURFACES’. I was inspired by surfaces such as old walls, dirty concrete and decaying infrastructure; the way that layers of dirt, old paint, patched cracks and exposure to the elements transform a structure over time. I relate this to life and layers of experiences that change us over time. The art in this collection was composed of several layers of mixed media, scrape, and splatters building texture and intensity. This piece is varnished in a protective satin finish, signed on front and back, and wired ready to hang. Edges are painted in a dark grey, no framing is needed.

b.1979 in GA,USA. I am an abstract artist, consumed with wanderlust, a passion for art, and an insatiable desire to merge the two. I pursue travel as a means of inspiration, building upon my personal stories of faith, tragedy, transition, and introspect... When I stand in front of my easel with a paintbrush in my hand, I become so immersed that time seems to stand still. It is often the only place I feel calmness from anxiety; it helps me practice mindfulness as I become fully aware of my senses. Once I put the first stroke down, excitement builds as I anticipate the direction that the canvas wants to take me. A blank canvas is like the beginning of a new day: full of hope and aspiration, a fresh start. My style of work is best described as contemporary abstract expressionism. I start each piece by establishing a color palette, primarily with acrylic paints. I like to do color studies on paper first, which help me to discover and stick with pleasing color schemes. I apply strokes of paint loosely and abstractly, while still paying attention to the piece's overall balance, tone, and contrast. From afar, my paintings look soft and feminine; but up-close, viewers can explore the hidden edginess and eccentricity. I find inspiration from colors and textures found in everyday mundane activities, things that others may overlook. I feel there is never a lack of creative stimulus if we look hard enough. I have been inspired by scars on the human skin, wilting flowers, and even the texture of an abandoned decayed infrastructure. The visuals of these subjects, and how I relate them symbolically to what I am going through in my personal life, have become my greatest source of inspiration. Each piece of my artwork begins with a personal experience of pain, joy, and/or self-discovery. Art gives me the courage to tell my story, to share it with the world in a way that reveals the universality of all our pain, joys, struggles, and triumphs. WWW.MARCIEART.COM
