"If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper.
Such a fantastic quote!
When I look for a moment away from reality - to get out of my own head space, to quieten all the noise around me, I find creating an abstract piece of art is such an incredible tool to allow myself some escapism.
When it comes to creating a piece of art, I am always my own biggest critique - often wanting to make 100 changes. Coming from a background of realism as an artist, I frequently struggle to be “free” with my work and express my emotions. But I am slowly learning to trust the process!
It’s so exciting seeing these pieces enjoyed by others - I cannot wait to start my next commission!
