These are uncertain times – None of us has experienced this before and yet we must go on as humans have always done. In these times spending more time at home you have an opportunity to create an environment that is both motivational and stress reducing. Abstract art is just the thing to address both of those.

Good abstract art is visually stimulating and pulls the viewer in, allowing them to get lost in the shapes, patterns, and colors to experience the work in a very individual way. I am often told by collectors that my art brings back a certain memory or feeling – this is the power of abstract art! Most of all surrounding yourself with art provides a positive environment that is conducive to reducing the stress we are all feeling right now!

I am happy to report that collectors continue to enjoy purchasing art as a wonderful way to bring pleasure into their lives even in these times!

Here I am venturing out to ship some of the artwork sold the previous week – Thank you!

Happy to announce that one of my recent works Blinding Yellow Lights was included in this week’s New This Week for April 28, 2020 which is a collection curated by the chief curator Rebecca Wilson! It’s always an honor to be included in this important collection as there are only 52 of them with an average of 60 or so works so that’s just 3120 works total so out of hundreds of thousands of works!

Inspired by the colors I love, all of them! This piece is full of contrast, iridescent tones, organic shapes and rapid changes in colors. Very vibrant statement piece with spontaneous paint drips, large brush strokes and glossy finish. High quality Golden acrylics and UV protective gloss enamel.

What is going on? When will it end? What do I do?  I am sure that right now we are all asking these questions. We are living in uncertain times and experiencing an event the likes of which has only been seen once in recent history…

As an artist it is my passion to create. Art can change a mood. A special or favorite work can take you to a mental place allowing you to get lost in contemplation and helps to keep a larger perspective.

Since it looks like we will be all spending a lot more time in our homes as more and more will be “sheltering in place” to flatten the curve for the foreseeable future. During this stressful and difficult time it is more important that ever that we take care of ourselves and one of those ways it to pay close attention to our environment and the very real effect that it can have on our mental health and resolve.

I think in these troubling times that artwork can be very helpful. Art lifts our spirits. Art can motivate us to push through trying times and could transform your space into a sanctuary from the uncontrollable conditions and events going on in the world.

I invite you to take some time to explore my artwork. Enjoy it for no other reason than taking your mind off of the news! If you find a work that speaks to you I am offering 20% off so if you find that special painting – TREAT YOURSELF or a loved one with the gift of hope and beauty. We ALL need something that will provide comfort and hope in these difficult times. Whether you are just starting your collection or acquiring new pieces for your growing collection this is the time to treat yourself to a new work of art.

Stay Safe and Stay Strong!
