MessageCollection: Acrylic Paintings
Acrylic paint allows for fast working times, bold marks, and vibrant colors making it an obvious choice for an artist who enjoys speed and efficiency. This is reflected in my acrylic works through the juxtaposition of loose abstraction, and cold blooded attention to detail. From a technical perspective, it allows for an intuitive and forgiving painting experience while being safe to use in the home, around family, and around pets. With the arts proximity to the intimate workings of the home, a sense of vulnerability, love, and softness is present in the art. This puts the easel close to the dinner table, to the bedroom, the movie night, or over by the cat tree and dog bed. It brings the art out of the intellectual space of the mind and into the emotional place of the heart. This is how I think of acrylic paint; it's a material meant for the heart, soul, and the home.
