ABSTRACTS+

A variety of highly textured work.  Generally speaking, my abstracts stem from pure emotion even after a theme or concept has arrived.  I love to study texture and am always attracted to weird found objects that I save for my artwork.  Natural trinkets in the sand, industrial objects, items that can add texture.  I love old fashioned hardware stores where everything is in bins and unique bead shops.  I've even used peanut shells for texture!  Metal shavings are also a hit with me.  I like to combine the natural elements with industrial type items.  A correlation of the past and future.  

The female form is a beautiful thing and creating abstract pieces such as The 3 here, have all been inspired by one particular photo of an eddy by the Gulf of Mexico during a transformative and harrowing time.  I Keep My Eyes Fixed on the Sun is actually a part of the series, Rise, and contains a very abstract quality to its POP twist, including her resin poured hair.
