Description
Bon Jour !
“Bon Jour! ” actually started out as a photo! There was this amazing flower blooming outside my studio here in Asheville, North Carolina. So “spirited” was that flower that she leant herself to a sketch that in turn became stylized contemporary abstract expressionist . Another photo et voila! Paintography. So that is the visual image you see via the thread of interest that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way. This visual story emphasizes The Fraught Process of Selection we—each of us-- face every day—that being the choice to look for possibility in what is around us.

Or yourself with a weekender tote... (((*:*))
THEME AND SYMBOLISM:: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change through envisioning different perspectives. Here is the story of longing for connection a tale of change with compassion. This is a theme that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way.
METHOD:: Abstract –Expressionism-Narrative Digital Paintography. Interpretations of outer/inner landscapes with a persistent focus on patterns and bold or unusual color. Photo and digital manipulation not necessarily an accurate interpretation, but instead seeking to explore the essence of the subject by moving into shapes, colors, forms, textures, layering and the overall gestalt to achieve an effect. Glimpses of reality from unusual perspectives. Image-making prompted by nature.
BACK-STORY: : I create visual narratives from what is around me- make sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.
