About the Item

Aninomininity, Original Abstract Ink Work on Canvas, 2018 8" x 10" (HxW) Acrylic and ink on canvas 12.5" x 14.5" x 1" (HxWxD) Total size in a black frame with a 2" white mat This acrylic and ink painting was created by the actions of pouring, swiping, tilting, and allowing the materials to flow into one another on top of the canvas. The resulting work is a colorful rainbow that is an abstract depiction of a tree-lined landscape of aspen trees surrounded by the wildflowers of the Colorado landscape. Artist Commentary: This piece was originally inspired by the Aspen trees that are all over the state of Colorado. They are my favorite trees and are beautiful all year long, even with no leaves on them. The white bark has a beauty all its own. It then morphed into the fun piece you see here. Because of the nature of how the colors flowed I had to give it a fun name. It's just a fun, energetic piece. Why not liven your space up with this one? If you look carefully, you can still see the Aspen tree trunks...

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. 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! 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. 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. 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."
