joyce stratton gallery I, Home, abstract artist,rittenhouse square fine art show,

My paintings begin with a word or phrase,
this gives me a general idea of the paintings
direction. From that point on the painting is
process driven. I create a history of the
process, layering and revealing, adding and
subtracting elements along the way. I
resolve a painting with line, texture and
symbols. The finished paintings are a
combination of gesso, acrylic, collage
elements, oil pastel graphite and ink on
wood panel. My aim is to create a painting
that holds the viewers interest,
continually revealing a new story.
