Hello,
I am an abstract painter driven by the unwavering need to create. For me, painting is meditative, challenging, creative and fulfilling all at once.
Each piece celebrates physical and emotional life experiences and sensations that imprints in memory. The pieces are created to tell a visual story, and my hope is the viewer is taken to that sensory place through the works.
My process is part planned/part intuitive; I have a sense of the piece and the story to tell, and then paint, water and non-conventional painting tools influence the composition and unique marks. Sourcing premium canvas and fabrics to create a rawness and texture is an important part of my process.
I am a passionate painter with experimentation and education playing a significant role in my art practice.
Thanks for taking a look.
Melissa
