Pieces of me.....
All I create are pieces of my being
Real or unreal
Old or new
In every creation
I re-create myself
Trying to be what I am
Only more.....
Morning Has Broken
October Blues
For so long I can remember, I have enjoyed expressing
myself through any kind of art or craft.
Until I was 40 I worked as a child psychologist and pre-school
teacher, but after that I said goodbye to my profession and
began studying at an art school. There I stayed for four years,
mainly learning Graphic art (etching, dry needle and linoleum
cut). I was a lousy oil painter, that medium did not fit me
at all, watercolor I liked better.
Lost Key
Can't Stand The Light
For many years I made collages of different
kind, watercolor and textile. I grew up with a mother that
sewed and a father that built violins, so I early fell in
love with textures of many kinds.
I have now abandoned making textile collages, but I realize
that I work much in the same way with my computer art. I take
a piece here and a piece there and try to make a whole of
it. And I am madly in love with textures of all kinds, I can
sit for hours just playing with different colors, textures
and filters, making backgrounds just for fun (and for upcoming
images).
The White Flower
With Grace
I work very much by intuition when I make an
image, experimenting wildly with layers, textures, color and
light. But the form is equally important, thats what
Graphic school taught me.
I have seldom a clear inner image when I start creating, it
is more a feeling I want to express. The process can be quite
unconscious to me for a long time. The image gradually takes
form, and become clearer to me.
Three B's
Peace
What I want with my images is to reach the feelings
of the viewers, to make them look into their own inner being
and respond in any way, regardless of which feeling is evoked.
