Abstract Art
Some people think that non-representational or abstract work looks so easy that their six-year-old could do it. Right? NO!
In reality, painting abstractly is often more challenging than painting realistically. When creating abstract art, the artist relies solely on color and shape to weave together a cohesive piece, which requires a deep understanding of composition and emotion.
Abstract work is designed to resonate with you on a visceral level; it speaks to the heart and soul, evoking feelings that transcend the visual.
I remember the day a customer walked into the art materials store my husband and I owned, forever altering my artistic journey. He introduced me to the exhilarating challenge of intuitive abstract painting, and in that moment, I felt a spark ignite within me. It was a turning point that led me to switch from oils to acrylics and embrace my own original style.
This transition opened up a world of creativity and expression that I had never fully explored before, and I became utterly captivated by the freedom and depth that abstract art offers.

Painting Grounds or Surfaces
Paintings shown here are on either canvas, acid-free watercolor or printmaking paper, or illustration board. Each surface has its own charm. If you would like to learn more about the properties of each, please click here to go the Glossary Page. There you will find definitions of many art terms that I hope will help educate you when looking at and purchasing original art.
Canvas is a wonderful surface to work with and one of my favorites. So many possibilities for an artist - texturize, paint, collage, sew, rip. As an art buyer, it provides a piece of work that may be left unframed if desired or framed in wood or metal to add extra emphasis. When purchasing a work on paper, make sure to work with a reputable framer who knows about archival materials for the mat board, backing, and glazing.
