Opening Reception: October 24, 2012, 4–7p.m.
Natural Elements
embodies a keen interest in displaying my art in public to share the
vivid colors, imagery, textures and abstractions developed in the
painting process.
Natural Elements brings many pieces embodying
nature and the interpretation thereof including the use of natural
found items for use in building texture, shapes and depth to the
paintings. A uniqueness of most of my pieces is that they can be hung in
no particular direction — vertically, horizontally, "upside down" — for
many there is no "right" way; hence, many of my pieces are signed on
the edge of the painting, not the front. I have a huge appreciation for
art and believe it should be shared for all to view, ponder and,
potentially learn from. Art oftentimes brings the viewer inside the
piece or themselves, and evokes feelings and emotions, along with
discussion.
I enjoy painting in acrylics because of their fluidity and
flexibility with the many compounds I incorporate. I love to layer
multiple colors and use many different types of compounds and water to
layer paint onto the canvas. I am currently working on an EdD in
Leadership at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and work in the
interactive/ecommerce field for a large company in Minneapolis. In
addition, I am an adjunct faculty member for the Art Institutes
International and teach a variety of courses part-time. I find
inspiration all around me including nature, music, social interactions,
social commentary, fashion, design and education. I bridge creativity
and an abstract business approach with logic and linear thinking fully
embodying the left brain right brain persona as evidenced in my
dimensional paintings.
