Nocturne #1 Print

This painting is part of a two part set. The time after dark inspired this artwork. It evokes a moody laid-back feeling of quieting down as our eyes adjust to the changing light of day. This original acrylic painting is part of the artist's series of organic abstractions. with muted and grayed down hues of dark blue, lighter blues, and warm oranges, soft organic shapes add a dreamlike quality to the work. The artist's major influences include the formalism of Paul Klee and his exploration of color theory and the lively and gestural expressionism of Kandinsky. This can be seen in the artists own style of abstraction through the manipulation of color, shape and form. Like these artists, she uses non-representational subject matter and automaticity to create an emotional experience for the viewer.
