For me it's more a representation of my personal anxieties - there are so many of them and they seem to come from all directions. They're almost unescapable at times, yet, just like the actual beams don't touch the horse, a lot of them are not as truly bad as I think them to be. They're enough to instill panic though.
I wish everyone could see this painting up close - there were lots of colour solving problems that I dealt with in making this painting (yellow is really hard to paint around) and the grey and oranges are close enough in value that they actually seem to vibrate.
The natural world is my main inspiration. Through close observation I seek to understand the world better. Layers, emotion and concepts hold great meaning for me and I strive to include them as much as possible. I primarily use pencil crayons and chalk pastels, but thoroughly enjoyed my Painting 101 class and plan on using acrylics more. Some day I hope to be able to attend ACAD full-time. My favourite artists include Fred Remington, Delacroix, Ralph Steadman, El Greco and Tom Thomson. I currently reside in Alberta with my husband.
I attend the Alberta College of Art & Design on a continuing education basis. In about three years time I will complete all ten classes required for first year studies. After that, I hope to be able to attend full or part time.
