dc.description.abstract |
This project was inspired by my trip to Italy the summer of 2009. This project gave me the opportunity to express the beauty found within my hometown of Gary, Indiana. The process of creating these paintings has allowed me to look deeper within my community to find and redefine beauty. I possessed a new found freedom to
experiment with imagery and different media outside of my personal comfort zone of oil
painting and watercolor. I have gained knowledge of famous artists who think and create
imagery that I can relate on a personal level. The paintings I created show a commitment
to the process of collage and using various mediums to produce a cohesive piece of
artwork. Just as the great African-American artists before me used simple imagery to
address complicated issues, I too have created a series of work that speaks loudly about
issues of beauty and history that some of us only whisper about. |
