BeautyMarks ! ? .    An exhibition of simplified form.
                
Patches of pigment. Each unique, necessary and important. Individual yet communal.  Texture, light, & movement impressions making their own exclamation!  Asking questions? Layers of value pushed,  scraped, and dabbed over brilliant high key hues. Shapes created with a plastic card loaded with beautiful tones of  pigment stroked across panel surfaces, leaving their mark. Each defines pieces of the whole. Your eye completes the image. These canvases were created with a focus on the interaction of shape against shape and value against value, using the Light as foundation. Beauty, Marks.                
                Brilliant underpainting chroma creates iridescence. Oil pigments and untraditional tools modeling images that are simultaneously abstract and hyperrealism depending on the viewers position. The shape of the card and the direction of the stroke dictate the mark that is made to represent areas of subtle value shift. Making marks exclusively using the card forces only shape representation. Each is beautiful, making its own mark in the Creation. 
                
What makes a mark a beauty? The eye of the beholder! “As a maker of marks, I have discovered that accepting a mark for what it is, beautiful or awkward, and leaving it to work with the other marks in the painting creates a unity in the diversity of texture across the panel surface. Because each is unique, the painting becomes more interesting. The marks become the beauty in the painting (verb & noun)."

The Beauty Marks Exhibition is headed for the Knoxville Arts & Culture Alliance, Emporium Gallery in June 2022!
