About the Item

Represented by George Billis Gallery. These recent paintings are my abstracted interpretations of the natural world. This is an ongoing reimagining of vegetation, flowers and the landscape. I rely heavily on intuition, and I trust in the gestures and mark making that come with a spontaneous approach. The color palette and composition of these paintings is also affected by what I see from my studio—looking out to the nearby bay. The images blend and melt into each other through the application of broad strokes and swaths of wet-into-wet paint. Multiple layers of translucent color contribute to the overall mood and depth of each piece. I aim to create paintings that are organic and unfolding, playing between the boundaries of abstraction and representation. My paintings are also influenced by repeated travels to the lush green environs of the Pacific Northwest—where I grew up. I like to bring optimism and fun into my work, and I am confident that is echoed to the viewer through this visual storytelling.

After the Storm
Located in Fairfield, CT
"I have always been a creative who thinks "outside the box". Art is easiest for me; it flows from whatever I've been thinking about, emotion, and soul and takes shape — from intrinsic importance to physical reality.… From nothingness comes something to share. My paintings are bright, colorful, and invigorating and I’ve been told and seen firsthand that they lift people’s spirits. A visitor to one of my shows commented, "Your paintings are so happy" and I responded, "that’s because I’m happy when I’m painting them". I work passionately, and intuitively and I refuse to follow others’ rules. People have told me that the colors I’ve used others don’t dare put together because they’re "not supposed to", and then when I do it, they exclaim, "it works". You can call me an "intuitive painter" or "a colorist" or "an abstract-surrealistic organic and geometric anarchist". Whatever you call me, I hope you like what you see. " – Karen Kirshner
