Hi. I'm S.E. Want a glimpse into my world? Well come on in. I'm so glad you found me and some of my work. I'm a visual artist who enjoys painting the world I see and feel in abstracts. To me, putting paint to canvas is like diving into a swirling sea filled with thoughts, beauty, sounds in color, mystery... It's etching out life in its raw, unfiltered, unfinished form.
I'm not one of those neat and tidy artists so into coveralls I go. When I'm getting them on I can feel a thrill within me building. I enter the chilly garage studio and prepare the paints as the room warms up. The blank canvas stands before me on its easel. It's both terrifying and enticing as I mix the paints. Neither music nor an audience are necessary. Not here. There’s already something resembling a drumbeat, a rhythm drawing me into another realm. Sometimes, the creative process can drive me to distraction, while at other times, it ignites inspiration like wildfire, and I suddenly lose track of six, seven hours in an instant. There's nothing as satisfying as the end of a long successful paint day! Ahhh!
The artwork you see today was primarily created using acrylics. They're my preferred medium at this time because they dry quickly, allowing me to layer, smudge, drip, and scrape to my heart's content. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to look at my work and I thank you for your support for my passion. Each of us, I believe has something valuable to offer. Does your passion bring others joy? Does it ignite something in you too? Then whether its big or small, go for it. "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." -Pablo Picasso
