Musical Geometry

Aside from the expressive women I paint, I love to paint abstracts.
They offer you offer you time to be still and be inquisitive, time to reflect on your day, time for you.
 
They give me a chance to be playful and have some fun. It is always intuitive, I never set out with an idea in mind.
 
There is a cool colour layer of acrylic paints under a warm colour layer. There are white and black marks on top of that.
 
I turned and turned and turned the picture around until something spoke to me. I couldn't get past all the irregular hexagons and pentagons.
 
I wanted to add another layer of interest so stuck on some sheet music and used the peachy colour to draw out the shapes. I outlined the shapes and marked the page in black and white posca pen using lines to represent the bars and musical notes.
 
This artwork has so many colours which will suit many different rooms and styles.
 
The measurements are 36.5x29.5cm on watercolour paper.

My name is Jade and I live in the beautiful Blue Mountains, Australia.

For me, art is very grounding. It pushes me to learn new things about myself by constantly asking questions and it keeps me in check.

My motto is “There are no mistakes in art, only happy surprises”. If you make a mistake, you learn from it and can always turn it around.

Most of my art is created unintentionally, meaning I have no set agenda, it just comes out. So, to me, "Creative Abyss" means imagining and creating something from deep inside.
I work in mixed media and love using lots of layers. My mantra is "Texture, texture, texture!"
Creative Abyss is a fun way for me to let my hair down, be creative, learn about myself and have a whole lot of fun.

MY PURPOSE: My purpose in life is to create art and to share it with others, whether that be selling my art or teaching it.
I am a self taught artist, constantly learning new skills and sharing them, teaching kids' holiday workshops and giving private lessons. I stand for painting with all my heart and soul, pouring love into it so it can be the best possible version. I paint for myself. I stand for growth and learning.

MY MISSION: My mission is for everyone to have something in their homes that they can connect with on an emotional level. When times are great or not. Something beautiful to look at which inspires them, something calm to look at which quietens them, something perky that inspires them to take action, something inquisitive that they can mull over. People are so caught up in work, raising kids, the mundane tasks of life that we forget to take time out and check in with ourselves.
