Creating through Intuition
Creating through Intuition
I am an intuitive artist and have been painting for over 20 years. When I started painting abstractly, it felt like coming home, giving my intuition free rein with each painting. I use motion and gesture to tell my story.
I was born and raised in the coal mining region of Pennsylvania, and currently reside just outside of Harrisburg in the rolling hills of Central PA. I spend my days gardening, hanging out with my children and grandchildren, and of course painting. Whenever possible, I travel the country seeking out natural beauty and connection with this amazing earth.
Before starting a painting, I choose background music and spend time choosing colors that resonate. This moment will never come again, so each choice of color, line and texture is unique to this painting.
I do not sketch or use photos. I jump right in with large gesture marks that start the creative journey. I use many different tools, sometimes painting with my eyes closed to simply feel the motion.
At this moment, I have no idea where the canvas will take me. As the painting evolves, I start to see the story it is trying to tell and follow it, continuing to let it lead me to its conclusion.
Please enjoy this video showing the creation of 'Sun Kissed', 'Warm Reverie', 'Step Softly' and more...
Looking for the perfect piece of art to complete a room? Let's work together to make one! If you select 2-3 colors and choose a canvas size, I will use my intuitive process to turn those elements into a completely unique piece of art that will harmonize with your space.
