utter obsession with color - bright, arresting,
emotional color! I also explored freedom vs.
control in my actual painting method.
This body of work is from the last semester of
my senior year of college. Trying to discover the
product I liked, I worked with acrylic paint, ink,
gessosed and un-gessoed canvas, as well as scraps
of found and recycled papers.
I was inspired by many color field and abstract
expression painters...such as:
Morris Louis, Sam Francis, Yves Klein, Clifford Still,
Paul Jenkins, & Helen Frankenthaler to name a few.
I did lots, and lots, of studies. I find beauty in each.
A blessing and a curse!

A little study.

canvas
7'x5' Acrylic paint and ink on ungessoed canvas
5'x4' Acrylic paint and ink on white ungessoed

drain...especially when I'm cleaning up my (now ex)
studio. How pretty is that?!
