About your artwork: I work from life and from my own photographs, moving back and forth between figurative and abstract approaches using strong color, bold compositions, gestural brushstrokes and layered washes. My paintings range from 6"x9" to 22"x30" works on paper to 6'x7' wallcloths. Lately I have introduced a human presence into paintings by incorporating classical statuary into my smaller studies of gardens. Achievements/Affiliations: My artistic practice, The Lost Playground Studio, includes producing watercolor and acrylic paintings for public viewing, artist's books and poetry as more private forms of expression, and teaching adults at MIAD, Cardinal Stritch, Woodland Pattern and my studio. Thea's work can be seen locally at Katie Gingrass Gallery and Art & Soul Gallery. |
