An Interview with Christie
What medium are you working in currently and why have you chosen it? |
|---|
| The medium I work in is watercolor both transparent and sometimes opaque. Then if these do not get the results I hopeing for then I may continue with acrylic and then water based oils. I like the uncertainty's of how watercolor effects will bring me into a direction. It is always challenge to achieve a certain glow to the pieces. |
| Is there a theme or editorial direction for your current work? |
| My newer work evolve around Koi Ponds . I'm fasniated with how the light abstraction interwines with the colors inside and out of the ponds. Theme wise these works still are about my garden as if you a getting a private viewing inside my narrative world., real or imagined |
| Where do you work most of the time? |
| Every where inside my house. Mainly in the studio and in the winter the dineing table near the firebox. |
| What is your favorite piece in your upcoming show - and why? |
| It is the last Koi painting in the series. I have enjoyed the manner in which the paints direction forced me to completely break free of my preconceived conceptualism. |
| How often do you work on your art? |
| I am obsessed! |
