Creating Art is a form of expression and release. The moment you choose a color or your pallet, and put your application tool to canvas, it is your mode of operation based on what you like; you are pulling from within; which is why creating is therapeutic. With abstract art you have the freedom of expression by delving into your inner being to represent what you’re feeling, how you’re feeling, how you want to feel, what you like, what you don’t like, where you are, where you want to be, so forth and so on; you’re sharing , experiencing and working through your life experiences.
Artist Statement
Abstract art represents workings of the inner being; is an expression of self and is born out of experiences, desires, hopes and dreams. Art seeks to satisfy a longing to be understood and accepted. Art communicates when words dare not or cannot; Art is life's forces screaming to be released, embraced and appreciated.
I don’t have a photo to describe the description of the effect my client was experiencing after her massage; so, I Chose a snippet of this painting ‘Behind the Scenes’ I’ve received plenty of positive feedback’s throughout the years; but, this is a new one; she said she felt “intoxicated”. Wow! You don’t have to drink alcohol, just get a massage by Norma; you’ll leave feeling woozy:) Have a good night.
It’s titled ‘The Love Letter’ because there’s an actual love letter written over 50 years ago, embedded beneath all the layers of paint; It sold years ago; but I wish I still owned it. That’s it! Have a good night:)
Learning new words is exciting to me. When ever I’m reading and come across a word I’m not familiar with, I immediately investigate for meaning to have a full understanding of Text. I came across the word “Stoic” and find the meaning quite interesting. I’ve never met a stoic person, however, I do know someone who exhibits stoic tendencies; I don’t know if it’s a practiced behavior used as a defense: though, I perceive it to be cold and calculated. I wonder if stoic’s are born or if it’s a trained behavior. I’ll research this some more and share my findings at a later date. Have a good evening:)
