Painting Exhibit of Sue Averell
Sue Averell
Painting is more than just a creative discipline; it is my vocation. Even as a child I looked at the world with the eyes of an artist, trying to figure out how to capture what I saw on paper. My style has evolved through the years, but it stands today as a process of escaping the confines of optical reality.
It is my intent to enable the viewer to feel the energy I put forth in the creation of my works through the use of expressive paint and color application. All of my paintings are made by applying thick, juicy layers of paint, allowing the color on top to almost melt into the layer below.
Rather than painting photographic imagery, I strive to create my own reality on canvas. I leave ambiguities in the finished painting so that the viewer is able to participate in the completion of the piece and see something new each time they visit the image. http://sueaverell.com
