About the Item
It is such an honor to win third place in Pastel Journal’s Abstract & Non-Objective category.
Featuring my 30x22 pastel art Hidden Jewels, juror Diana Sanford summarizes this piece as a painting full of “distinctive, dynamic scribbles that truly dazzle” with marks that “convey profound emotions.” When I paint, I let the colors I choose and marks I make to be entirely intuitive based on my emotions, giving each of my paintings a sense of life. I began Hidden Jewels full of negative feelings and surrounded by chaos that was beyond my control. The chaos is represented in the aggressive marks that cover the painting. Once I felt better about the problems I was dealing with, I knew the painting was complete. For me, painting is therapy, a way for me to express my emotions when I am unable to with my words.
