Valerie Corvin–Artist Spotlight Solo Art Exhibition–March 2022

 

 

I see painting as an exciting process of taking inspiration from nature and combining it with my personal feelings. I believe abstract paintings need to emit an energy from the painter’s inner life. Excitement, wonder, joy for the natural world and how it resounds within her can be seen and felt in her mixed media works. My hope is that the colors, shapes, and marks will vibrate within the viewer and evoke feelings of beauty, connection, and something inexplicable within themselves. Color is a strength of mine. I love playing with color and building colorful palettes to express part of my deeper emotions.  But playfulness and spontaneity are also important elements to my process. Building layers of marks, first bold dark marks, then followed by colorful shapes and a variety of lines to create a sense of history and a composition that communicates a sense of natural and unique forms from nature. The ultimate outcome of my process are artworks that give the viewer feelings that uplift and resound.  And even might remind one of the deeper sense of connection we all have to the earth on which we stand.
