My inspiration for Sailors’ Delight comes from the 2000 year old phrase, "Red sky at night, sailors' delight." I employ the sun as a metaphor for a brighter future as we continue to live on the edge. Do not despair for we are strong and will persevere. My goal is to evoke a response of “Ah!” from viewers. I love the excitement of bright colors. I often use water repellant yupo paper to ensure colors are vibrant and engaging. My artwork tends towards abstraction. I use the intensity of color and big shapes to draw viewers to my artwork. I use a variety of media to mimic the complexity and randomness of nature |
