Horse Fair IV 2017

24" x 48" x 1.5" (60.96cm x 121.92cm x 3.81cm) Acrylic, and charcoal on canvas, unframed

"I love the transparency of drawing, the layering, the marks left behind, the possibilities and depths of a piece allowing the drawing or painting to become what it was meant to be. These abstract works, sensually dynamic and rhythmic depictions of horse and rider in movement explore gestural lines, strokes, and marks that become the subject matter itself, revealing the kinesthetic beauty and strength of the body in motion." - Heidi


The artist is influenced by Matisse, Picasso, Delacroix, de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Amy Sillman.
