Art Expression

Fall is here and I'm gearing up to be in three different art shows with the Carpinteria Art Center and the Buenaventura Art Association (two locations) in the next few months. Times are challenging, but also very exciting. Recently, I began spending time with acrylics and now have ventured into abstract arts. I've been painting mostly watercolors but decided that as crazy as 2020 has been, I should take this opportunity for a challenge. The abstracts are very freeing and now have turned some of them into designs for face mask.

As I began creating abstracts I was asked to recreate an original one that I had shared on social media. The picture in this blog shows the copy of the original I did. It's different and I'll add that no paintings are alike even if the artist tries their best to recreate it. You see, art captures emotion of the moment. And it's literally impossible recreate emotion of a moment that is now in the past. So, I titled this work opposition. Because ultimately I see "opposition" in this photo and isn't it representative of the times and moment we are all in in 2020.

Thanks for browsing my website. I've uploaded new designs so think of face masks and greeting cards as possible gift giving ideas as we move into the holiday season.

Best,
