Abstract Art does not attempt to represent external reality that we can see in the physical world, but rather develops a visual language that communicates what we cannot see with just our eyes. It can, of course, be about what you see, but it can also incorporate what we imagine, feel, or think. This is what I do when I Abstract Nature- I see it, I imagine it, I feel it, I think it. Nature has rigidity and flexibility, toughness and softness. There is no such thing as a perfect right angle in nature. While viewing this work, you are not looking at a real depiction of the natural world. I prefer the limitless opportunities of the expressive, abstract style. No two paintings look the same because there are never two moments the same in nature. There is no such thing as static nature, as it is always ebbing and flowing.I embrace the freedom of paint's fluidity as it allows me to recreate the fluid movements I see within this celebrated subject matter.
I never know how a painting will end up, as I celebrate intuitive mark marking and color choices. Painting to jazz and blues is instrumental in my non-objective abstract work to help create the fluid movement of the paint strokes. In this purely abstract work above, I strive to tap into my subconscious, as well as my feminine experience through various ways by channeling genuine lived experiences and emotional energy as a woman.
