With the darker days of winter approaching I find the light in my studio. Creating art gives me the opportunity to change my surroundings and even how I feel. My emotions guide my choice of colour, medium and subject. One day I'm wild about flowers, putting together vintage ephemera and paint. The next I choose to seek solace in a peaceful seascape limiting my medium to oil paint. Another day an abstract mixed media work calls out for my favourite family of birds, the corvidae, or beautiful sea birds that make their living from the ocean. When they are done I send them off to my galleries anticipating they will find homes and hoping they will bring some light and joy to the viewer/collector. I have much gratitude for the galleries and curators that continue to exhibit and sell my artwork. They work hard to bring art and culture to their corner of the world. And what is a country without its arts and culture? Not much. As we head into the holiday season I wish you and our world peace, joy and unconditional love now and always. AXO |
