Let In The Light 1 Painting

The world dissolves whenever I'm painting. My imagination takes over as I brush my first strokes of paint on a blank surface. I lose track of time and space. My movements create color combinations, shapes, textures, compositions and visual imagery that evolve in my subconscious. I am very influenced by Asian art and Abstract Expressionism. My extensive travels and introduction to other cultures influence all that I do. How do the essence of the visual bring ideas to the surface? My abstract art is ever-changing by my exposure to nature, fantasy, and when I view moving images. Trained in Art Therapy I am deeply aware not only of my own psychological influence but how my work will impact those who view it and emotionally become engaged.
