After a few months work, I finished the last painting of this series. It is my interpretation of powerful women painters.
I see visual artists as souls with a mission to communicate; therefore I named this series of paintings
"The Messenger"
These
paintings portray the painter’s mood, consciousness, and inner struggle
to convey feelings in a nonverbal way; conveying ideas or understanding
in the viewer’s consciousness. Why make art, if not to be seen and
shared with a wider audience? We connect our spirits through art.
I am convinced that we paint who we are, and I believe that women
often work more from deep feelings and inner guidance than men. Our
personalities and beliefs influence the work.
Why do I portray only
women painters? There are more women artists than men. More women
graduate from art school, and I am a woman who has had experience with
artistic prejudice, that still continues. Now is the time to embrace and recognize women artists' contributions, artists both dead and alive, to a greater degree.
