About RAK Fluid Art:
My creative process is what spurs me on to produce mixed-media works with a natural theme. Using fluid mediums that stimulate a link to the outside world, such as encaustics (hot beeswax), pastels, and inks, I create expressionist art. The use of texture gives my paintings a tactile quality that invites the observer to reach out and touch them.
Expressionist art emphasizes meaning and emotion above reality. Vibrant, striking colors are frequently used to distort or exaggerate the subjects. The largely floral images I paint come alive layer by layer when I use my outdoor passions such as hiking, camping, and kayaking to inform the decisions I make with my art. Taking care of my aging parents, watching over my grandchildren, and sending my last child off to college puts me in the sandwich generation. Individuals who have gone through this stage might relate to the feeling of being tugged in numerous ways. Immersing myself in my work serves as both my escape and my haven. Come escape with me! |
