"Freedom" by Terry Hinkle

Mixed Media, Chalk Pastel

10" x 8" Framed

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Many times I wake up from a dream with a complete vision of the finished painting in my head and have to rush to capture it before it fades away. But most days, I do a simple meditation before entering my studio to clear out all of the 'human' noise and set my creative intention for my painting and for my day. Then, with a clear, uncluttered mind, I select the wood or paper or canvas that I will start with, and happily enter that intoxicating stream of creative energy, never knowing where it will take me. I am so happy to be on my new path of freedom. It is a journey of pure emotional and creative expression that I am excited to finally be a part of.

I enjoy creating mixed media abstract and figurative paintings and I am available for commissions. Quite a few of my paintings are created with Iron, copper, and bronze paints that are then oxidized to weather and rust. I very seldom seal the paint when finished so that it can continue to live and make beautiful subtle changes over time.
