Abstract Expressionism / intuitive Abstract
Describe your creative process. When you begin a painting, do you have an idea of what the end result is? Do you prepare sketches first? Do you know the colors you are going to use?
My creative process begins with emotion rather than a fixed plan. Guided by music, which translates rhythm and feeling into intuitive movement on canvas. I don’t begin with a finished image in mind. I begin with an emotion. The colors reveal themselves as the work unfolds.I do sometimes choose the colours and prepare a color palette if I am working for a Commission work .
