Description
I am a communicator. Can art influence? Yes, no, maybe. My world and yours is rapidly changing environmentally, technologically, and socially. Environmental changes on a local level (Sea Level Rising) and tumultuous weather throughout the US and world is the force that spirits my art. I am working on “Terra Incognita” a series designed to focus awareness on extreme weather and how it affects us mentally, spiritually, and biologically.
Social issues like Covid-19 are foremost in our collective mind. Our daily life, rituals and activities have changed—forever. Breathing is no longer an automatic reflex, now we must think about the need to mask-up. We have our temperature checked before entering an area. Temperature changes are captured with thermal imaging cameras which offer a selection of distinctive palettes which I am exploring in my colorful “Thermal Imaging” series. I will never run out of subject matter since there are so many important causes!!
My process is one of discovery. Play is important, I like moving bits of ideas, using collage, paint, mixed media, photography, anything and everything. Repurposing and recycling are integral to my mixed media art. Another passion is my one-of-a-kind painted purses. I paint on cotton canvas or linen fabric and then construct a special purse from the painting. You may find a purse to match your singular personality! Take a look: ElaineDesignsPurses.com
