Georgia O’Keefe

designwithflair,

I only have one word for Georgia O’Keefe – POWERFUL. 

What an exhibition!!  I didn’t sneakily take any pictures out of respect for rules. I wish I could have. Was simply too engrossed in her paintings. Wow!!! Her use of colour is astounding. I am in awe of this absolutely genius artist who was pretty fiesty and dogged in the way she executed her paintings. Layers and layers of colour (most definitely thinned) that have to be seen to be believed. 

Well…I just sneakily took one pic (you snooze; you lose)…well couldn’t resist breaking the ‘no photos allowed’ rules. Her work encourages defiance!


This painting is titled It was blue and green. Painted in 1960.

Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism. 'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?
