Kivie
Artist Statement:
I believe in the portrayal of energy and motion. Every image and stroke becomes a thought to be shared. Each event is spontaneous while trying to organize the chaos.
The newest body of work the “Mountain Energies”
I have always wanted to paint mountains in a way the reflects the way they make me feel. At times I am throwing gallons of paint at the canvas, by using this technique the visual appeal becomes more fluid and visceral.
