My Most Recent Piece, 2014

 

 

Thought I would share my process that creates my acrylic pieces. Each individual piece is created from a photograph that means something to me,weather it be a trip or event.  I allow my feelings at the moment to pick the photo or colors I would use next. I would draw that part of the photo with my smallest brush using black acrylic. Going into that piece the colors pop out to me. Once color has been completed I return to the piece and outline all the color variations.    You see the lines keep me safe, much like in real life I am frightened to go beyond the barriers in fear of failure. My art allows me to say what my  voice can not. My art has become my healer and soulmate.
