The paintings on this page are the beginning of a style that I am calling my,
intuitive/decorative style.
Part of this style is influenced by the art movements Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite and many contemporary art styles from the 60's and 70's that included funk and flash and nature.
I love to create with so many different art supplies and concepts that having a muse like a Swallow to guide me has been great to create focus and some glue to tie my work together while I am finding my artistic voice.
The paintings I have created lately in acrylics and mixed mediums ;lus encaustics, has helped me realize ideas I have had for a long time, flying around my brain.
Although I am sharing paintings on this page, I also use my swallow muse for drawing, creating sculpture in clay, pottery, fabric, found materials and paper mache'.
Here is a close up of what my swallow diva muse looks like.
After creating my muse, I decided to apply the style to a self portrait.

Intuitive/Decorative Style
This painting is the vision statement for
The Swallow Kingdom
Above is a self-portrait
which shows my love of the water and our beautiful
pacific northwest. Sitting on the branch suspended
in space and time is my swedish grandfather
from Dal Sweden.
Although I have written plans for my art kingdom, I try to illustrate them too! Peace, Harmony & Beauty.
This is the first acrylic painting I did that helped me begin developing what I call intuitive/decorative. I like using script and layering along with abstraction and making things look real or adding collage to juxtapose photographic realism mixed with dream like images.
