Being an avid reader of Stephen King, I recently re-read Dolores Claiborne and was transported down the well when painting this piece. I imagined you would be able to see all the moss, algae and different deposits along the stone walls when the sun passed over. They would seem so bright compared to the scary darkness around you...

About the artist:

I grew up watching my mother create art out of paper, cardboard, fabric, oil paints - you name it - and have thus tended towards artistic interests my whole life. It led me to study architecture at Virginia Tech, which is where I began creating acrylics and mixed-media artwork.
My style has been described as abstract expressionist centering mainly on the use of bold colors and deep textures and reflects my architectural background.
I am enthralled as the bead of turquoise crosses the canvas strong and true, and intercepts with the red stroke I had laid down previously. The act of two distinct colors coming together to form infinite combinations, still captivates me. I usually paint flat and use thicker acrylics to create the impasto effect in many of my paintings.
I currently reside in Georgia and have been influenced by many local artists to incorporate avant-garde materials into my work. My multi-media designs and artwork consist of found materials including cardboard, sheet vinyl, plastic, old credit cards, string and junkyard metal.
