A WOMAN OF COLOR "I paint in color. I live in color. I breathe in color."
A WOMAN OF COLOR "I paint in color. I live in color. I breathe in color."
My aesthetic is “abstractly real” So what is that exactly… art is most usually described as abstract or real, but I submit there is a very thin line between the abstract and the real and it is in that somewhat demilitarized zone of existence I am most comfortable. The eyes with which I view the world are mine and mine alone. No one can see what I see or what you see. That vision is uniquely personal. Every day I walk my little dog through the wooded area behind my house. In every square inch of the earth, there resides a beautiful abstract painting, however, this is nature and nature is realism at its most essential. It has a concrete existence, definite color, and texture. The square inch exists essentially on its own. Each work I produce exists in its own private space. I seek to draw the viewer into a world needing no explanation, just feeling, A feeling between the viewer and the image.
...journey of history and nature; of beauty and peace, the reflection of the Black family.
