I grew up the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain region. I draw a lot of my inspiration from nature. Does the see-er see what the seer saw? The use of fluid paints in abstract painting probably originated with the mural artist David Alfaro Siqueiros, when he first discovered what he called his “accidental painting” technique in New York around 1936. The simplicity of the process coupled with its elaborate results riveted him. Siqueiros poured different color paints onto a wooden panel, allowing the different colors to spread, coalesce, and infiltrate one another." Jackson Pollack tried it when he worked for Siqueiros before moving onto his drip paintings. Pollack and Siqueiros were using lacquers and enamel paints. I use acrylic paints. My current art could probably be categorized as "non-objective" abstract art in that I am not abstracting reality but working directly with the process, colors, etc. When they are finished though, they may look like something... but it was not intentional. Hope you enjoy and find a place in your life for my art..
