About the Item

All Colors Lead to...? - Original Abstract Ink Painting, 2019 18.5" x 14.5" (HxW) Alcohol Ink on Plastic Substrate A fluid rainbow emerges from the center of the composition, with colors melting together as they make their way towards the top and bottom. The use of a Posca pen to outline the different sections of color gives this work a graphic and lively feel. Artist Commentary: All colors lead to ... ? Where? I'm still waiting for an answer. One interesting note before I describe this painting ... I occasionally use yard signs to do my alcohol ink pieces on. They are the perfect surface! They are opaque enough that you cannot see the yard sign through the art. You might think this is a bit strange, no doubt. Howvever, the surface of these signs is wonderful for alcohol ink. The ink moves well and it is a material that won't degrade over time. Also the bigger size seems to be a great size for art. Not too small, not too big. Just right. This piece was an evolution. It started out as one thing and evolved several times to what you see before you now. The original intent for was a lot of negative space. This one is anything but negative space. I think the softness of the colors as they face to the edges still give the illusion of negative space though. The main path of saturated color is still evident. This piece was one of those that made me feel like I had been set free. The gloom of a snowy January winter's day was making me want to see bright colors. So I put my favorite music on (Crowder) and started feelin' my mood shift. As my mood shifted the colors happened. As the colors happened, my freedom happened. All that is the recipe for an energetic riot of color! Enjoy! About the artist: I have been an artist all my life, ever since I could hold a pencil. I have always loved to draw and paint. My styles have varied over the years from realism to abstract and everything in between. The mediums I most enjoy working with are: oil, colored pencil, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, pen & ink, alcohol ink, and acrylic. Currently I am experiencing a mammoth amount of creative freedom working on abstract art. In 2015, I donated one of my kidneys to a young woman who had only been born with one very diseased kidney. Since then she has been thriving and now going to college and living her life. What a blessing! I consider this a privilege and I'm so happy I was a match for her. I have lived all over the country (U.S.). I primarily grew up in Woodland Park, CO. Following living in Woodland, I lived in Durango, CO, Farmington, NM, Houston, TX, Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA and currently live in Montrose, CO (hopefully for good). I thankfully found my way back to Colorado. We live near Colona, in the shadow of Buckhorn Mountain (west/central Colorado) and absolutely love this place! It is remote, uncluttered, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The inspiration I feel in my heart here is something I’ll be forever grateful for. It makes my soul sing! I love to ski and am glad I live near some great places. Telluride, Crested Butte, Aspen, etc ... when money allows. On February 12, 2017 I was in a ski accident in Telluride. Someone hit me from behind and knocked me unconscious for a few minutes (yes, I was wearing a helmet) and broke my collar bone. The guy hit me and left me for dead. He still has yet to be found. It's considered a felony to hit and run, just like in a car. Consequently, I suffered a concussion that has changed my life forever. My creativity has changed. Something happened to my eyes and I have a hard time doing the tiny details I used to do. But something also clicked in terms of how I approach my art. The freedom of abstraction has helped me heal and cope. Not only from the accident but with so many areas of my life. I have learned what true forgiveness means (to give as well as receive). I have a new appreciation for how fragile our lives really are and just how quickly life can be taken from us. A lot of things can change in the blink of an eye! That moment created a complete paradigm shift in my life. Mostly for the better. I’m involved in an art mentoring program called Art Partners. I mentor a young boy (age 10). He created a piece that won first place in the student category of the Ouray Alpine Artist’s Holiday art show (nationwide) as well as 1st place in The Montrose Visual Arts Guild 2018 art show. I love the fact that I get to help shape this young man's creative future. He's my lil buddy. There is an old cabin (100+ yrs old) on the property where I live that I have turned into my art studio. It’s my retreat and sanctuary. While I'm in this cabin, creativity just bursts forth in a riot of paint and color! This, I believe, is my heavenly father working through me. I'm still not sure what the grand purpose is but I keep my mind and heart open. I'm expecting adventure because, really, there's no way to know what's next. Like I always say, "the point is not to live forever but to create something that does."
