I am not able to take credit for this piece. I’m just a girl with some paint and a canvas. The  special ingredients do their magic while my back is turned. I love it! I get so much satisfaction out of painting like this. It’s like going on an exotic adventure to another country.. to another world. It may be a short visit, but OH so eye-opening and so intricately detailed! I love how multi-dimensional these pieces are!

The reason for the inconsistencies in color is that I used metallic paint so the color will vary from red to silver to blue. It’s my homage to the American Flag. 

    I have a tendency to paint two pieces together and sell one while giving the other to my friends and loved ones. I usually give them as gifts to people I care about. So, I honor that friend by naming the piece I am selling after him or her. So quite literally, my inspirations to paint these abstract pieces tend to be people, but not always. My store is called Abstract Inspirations. So when you see this painting called “Simone”, you will know I named it that because she was my abstract inspiration for the feeling that went into painting it.

This piece is called “The Clash”. Let’s say it stands for the Clash of colors and not for the Brit Punk band who I just happened to be listening to when I painted it.👩🏻‍🎤

    This time I honored my Mother-in-law. I originally painted two larger pieces, one for my sis-in-law and one for my mother-in-law. It feels strange to call them that. They are just my sis and “Mommy” as we all call her. I let my sis open both pieces so she could choose the one she wanted. Mommy was not there. I asked a while later to see how she liked her painting that my sis gave her from me. I was told that the granddaughter of Mommy, and daughter of my sis kept both pieces for herself! I couldn’t believe that little rascal! I was flattered but knew I needed to paint another piece especially for Mommy. And so I did.. she loved it! 

This piece is actually a 3 x 5 inch cross-section of the piece called “The Clash”, which is 11 x 14 inches. This section is also upside down from how it was originally intended and from how it fits with the piece called “The Calling”. The next photo shows what they look like together right side up. I think I might just turn them both upside down!

    For this piece, I used the acrylic pour technique and the swiping method. Like with many of my paintings, usually the smaller more affordable ones, I often honor someone by naming the painting that I keep after him or her. But in this case, the person who received the painting is a private person who would probably not want me to use his or her name and I respect that. I still honored him or her by painting the other piece and giving it to them. So instead, it reminds me of a gorge. I’ve never been to Tallulah Gorge, but I simply liked the name. 

This piece was originally called “London Calling” because that is the song I was listening to when I created it. I also feel like this newly found talent just might be my “calling”. So it is accurately named “The Calling”.

This one, like many of my pieces, is the result of the swiping method of the Acrylic Pour technique. I love using metallic colors, and this one has gold and copper in it, so it shimmers in the light. It is 12x12 inches and entitled “You’re Getting Warmer” as a reference to the warm, fiery spirit of this painting. It is mid-summer here in Georgia. So “warm” is an understatement. We are definitely getting warmer down here in the South!

For this piece, I used the acrylic pouring technique. Then, heat was applied to activate the silicone cells, or bubbles. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces. I’m torn about parting with it. I look at it as something that is better to share with others than to keep. I love this piece, but I will get so much satisfaction in knowing that it’s hanging in someone’s home who appreciates my work. Every one of my pieces is truly unique.. and impossible to duplicate. I wish I could make more like this one, but it is truly a one-of-a-kind. 

This piece could be anything. Fireflies are just one possibility. The subject is subjective. My inspiration for the piece was the feeling I that I get when I see cream and black together. Cream is a wholesome color, while black is an edgy color. So seeing these two together reminds me of my relationship, because opposites attract, in our case it does anyway. Or it could represent someone wholesome with an edgy streak.

This piece was fun to paint because, like most of my works, I was trying something new. This one involved a soda bottle. It’s acrylic pour with a twist!

This 10x20 inch piece has an 8x10 inch piece that matches it’s style, color, and design. Just like a storm, I get swept away when I’m painting and don’t think of anything else. Painting is my form of meditation.

It makes me so happy when a piece turns out like this. And oddly enough, creating this piece gave me a feeling much like “Puppy Love”, or falling in love for the first time.

I love working with these colors! The raisen makes the mango pop! I don’t like naming my paintings. It’s abstract. So for one, the subject matter will never be anything recognizable. And two, the feelings that get stirred up in you when viewing my work will never be the same as what I or the next person feels. Those feelings conjure memories, and then we see something we recognize in the painting.

I call this one Muddy Dandelions because it felt like I was painting a bunch of goopy flowers. However, if you look close, it looks like it’s being viewed through a rainy window. This piece gave me some trouble because I used a different pouring medium and a different kind of silicone than I normally use. So, I repainted it about 3 times. The extra work paid off. I didn’t stop until I had created something I love. I used the acrylic pour technique with the swiping method. Quite a bit of metallic copper and gold were used, so it shimmers in the light.  I also used a balloon-kiss design for the dandelion effect. 

This piece was one of my earliest works. Painting can be a very painful experience due to the degenerating discs in my spine. This is how much love, effort, and determination went into this piece. Like my other pieces, as I pour the paint onto the canvas, something beautiful starts to happen. It is so great when a negative can be turned into a positive! This occurs every time I paint. I begin with pain and finish with a pain-ting! As the design starts to appear, the pain begins to DISappear! I am SO grateful for that! I realize now that one main reason that I love to paint so much is the fact that painting acts as a pain reliever... for me anyway.

I used the “acrylic pour” technique to create this piece. I combined the colors with silicone and pouring medium. Then, I used a blow-torch to heat the paint and activate the silicone.

These colors remind me of 3D glasses. Not much more could be said to describe this piece. Like all abstract art, it’s meant to literally be abstract. Giving my pieces titles stifles the imagination... unless I give my paintings abstract titles, such as people’s names, or words like “imagination” or “oblivion”.

For this piece, I used the acrylic pour method and the swiping technique. One of my earliest works. 

For this one I chose candy colors, because just like candy, these colors make me feel good. This is another example of how something visual can be “delicious”. Like all my paintings, this one was a lot of fun!

I created this piece with three other pieces of the same size (6”x6”) and same colors, but different styles. I gave the other three to a dear friend. She was the first friend I have seen in months due to the pandemic! We celebrated this time with one another by grilling out. The perfect compliment to such a perfect day was the chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

This painting was fun to do. Instead of pouring all the colors together, I painted a design that made me think of those Chinese festival dragons. I still call it Strawberry Pie à la Mode because this piece has a fun but light-hearted, almost child-like quality to it. Whereas, if I was to paint a Chinese dragon, there would be no mistaking this painting to that one.

I was listening to The Psychedelic Furs while I was painting and this was the result! I used the balloon-kiss technique of the Acrylic Pouring method.
