Painter Writer Dog Lover
These paintings are a collaboration between me and the Universe. A magical field of love and imagination where judgement is silent and Beauty reigns with kindness.
As a young child, I swam in the imagination of science fiction books. These visual fables are an extension of those stories where the recognizable collides with the unfamiliar, creating these amusing and thought producing mind puzzles.
There is a freedom in working on paper, because it's not as precious as linen, cotton or board. It's a favorite substrate to experiment on and develop ideas. I love the way it receives mediums, so willing and so forgiving.
My mixed media collages are short, visual poems written with discarded items reimagined as objects of mystery and beauty.
My studio is my sanctuary. Once inside, I bow to my muse and hope she comes out to play. Photo credits: Gail Mancuso
