Meet the Artist: All exhibition Hours.
This exhibition explores the abstract whimsy of the landscape while a capturing both a sense of new identity and adventures to come. Abstract landscapes are imaginary places where the mind intuitively goes when creating. A sense of places travelled to and experiences witnessed can be seen in the work. Some pieces capture an emotional roller coaster, others a sense of calm and serenity.
In the spirit of happy accidents in the summer of 2024, a new technique of applying ink was discovered with a spill! A few swipes of ink later, the work was “beyond the green” as the yellows mixed with the blues. The title came from this colourful amalgamation. As non-traditional, abstract landscapes formed, so did a challenge to explore a new layered ink techniques and different perspective.
In the late summer, after being diagnosed with a new medical condition requiring surgery, it was time to push past the illness and create before the procedure at the end of November 2024. This required both strength and endurance to meet the goal of a final exhibition at cre8ery, and to launch my career into new realms of the art world. A new chapter will begin. As this current journey ends, I am feeling both the loss and the excitement that comes with ‘layered emotions’.
