Alchemy "Solo Show" - Feb 2015
Nine Muses Art Gallery
584 W Tuscarawas Ave
Barberton, Ohio 44203
Through the ages scentists known as Alchemists used the power or process of transforming something common into something special, such as trying to turn lead to gold/ They created symbols for the elements that they worked with. I have taken this idea and changed their symbols into fine art. Join me for a modern take on the medieval symbols of the alchemist.
FLOW "Solo Show" - April 8th
Studio 2091
2091 Front Street
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 44221
Flow can be described as the water flowing in a stream, or how the wind shapes the desert sand every day. I also think of these things when I hear the word, but I tend to think of how my artist brain works. Flow to me is painting something and adding in subconscious painting at the same time. I take an idea and let, either oil paints or pastel, push its way into my canvas. 15 years ago I sat in front of an illustration board and had no clue what I was going to create. I started the pastel piece and let it take shape in front of me without thinking of the outcome. When the piece was finished I was amazed of what I created. And my definition of Flow was born. In this series I based all of my work around that first painting. Starting with a simple idea and building upon it as I painted, so each piece is born the last work completed to create an ever flowing rhythm from idea to idea. I want the viewer to look into the painting and feel the art flow around them and to draw them in.
