Art Exhibition:
The paintings in “all of me” are the result of embarking on an adventure to learn new things and discover what life is about when your kids are grown, and you’ve outgrown your 9-5 life. Discovering joy in painting, enjoying the process, finding freedom and getting lost in time, in the moment and just having fun! Discovering a creative life where there is no right or wrong, no on or off, and it is just being, is not that vastly different from the life of a computer scientist. Technology includes the use of materials, tools, techniques and sources of power to make life easier or more pleasant and work more productive. Art is born by the same items and the sources of power from within to pursue creative expressions which I hope will evoke an emotional response, a smile, a feeling, and create an illusion.
“all of me” is a collection of work on paper, canvas and wood completed over the last 2 years, intuitive in nature and with a range from bold and explosive abstracts to subtle and flowy ink pieces. I create square canvases exploding in colour and texture and round discs with layers of transparent colour, with barely there marks, with touches of shimmer and a little fairy dust of glitter for good luck. I paint for a sense of self, to make the ordinary
extraordinary and to find magic in every day life.
