BoldBrush Recommends: Tracy LupanowBiographyI discovered at the young age of ten, that I had a talent for realistically drawing and painting the fascinating things in my world. As an adult, I developed my artistic skill by taking college art classes and studying watercolor painting with well-respected California watercolor artists. I enjoyed painting florals and landscapes in watercolor for many years but decided I wanted to grow as an artist and try something totally new. Really wanting to step out of my comfort zone I chose to take my work in an abstract direction. My journey into abstraction began as I took workshops and classes from highly regarded and nationally known artists. I began learning a tremendous amount about acrylic paint, collage, monoprints, and numerous abstract techniques. I discovered at a workshop in Sedona that painting intuitively and abstractly gave me the opportunity to paint what I was feeling with no image in mind. That made my heart happy! My abstract journey began about seven years ago and I know will continue for many years to come! My artwork is held in many private collections throughout the United States. Artist Statement: My desire as an artist is for my paintings to connect with you on an intimate level, bringing forth emotions evoked from old memories, strong feelings and lived experiences. An abstract painting is an experience of discovery as each viewer finds a little piece of themselves within it. Over the years my work has shifted from representational watercolors to bold and expressive abstract mixed-media paintings. From a distance, they catch your attention with bold color. Up close, they tell an intimate story through texture and detail. As I draw and paint layer upon layer, my paintings begin to develop a history that naturally unfolds as I react intuitively and enjoy the process of what is emerging. I combine the elements of line, color, shape, and composition to capture emotional energy rather than an image.
