I am often asked:
What does it mean?
This means:
What is this art about?
Is there a message?
Is it supposed to be something?
The beauty of abstract art (I tell them)
is that it can be anything you
want it to be!
What do you see?
What does it remind you of?
Do you feel a certain emotion?
One reason I love living with abstract art
is that it can give you many moments
of different ideas, responses and discoveries.
Let's be honest.
Abstract art is mysterious.
I paint to 'express' my current mindset
or mood or life experience.
I paint to work things out.
Like therapy!
My abstract art is also informed by things I see
Places I go
and people I spend time with or think about
(or dream about)
I live life and photograph it.
(an important part of my Artist Statement)
My photo art informs my abstract paintings.
and vice versa.
I am inspired by absolutely everything.
Everything is alive to me.
Everything has a story or a history.
Landscapes ignite my creative output.
So do Sunday mornings.
I talked about this in my latest newsletter.
(you can receive it on Fridays too if you want....here)
What is the meaning of abstract art?
The simple answer is:
It's up to you!
