Meaghan Fennessy Keeley
A former floor cloth artist and avid architectural/botanical photographer, I am experimenting in mixed media and encaustic techniques using the canvas as my building block to create compositions about surface and color. Warm hued colors, strong elements of line and intertwined architectural shapes combined with my fascination with surface texture bring my works to life. I paint to create a new fascination and interest on the canvas.
I paint what I love, in encaustic oils and soft pastels. I layer and layer my shapes, both building up the surface and scraping it away. The palette knife, my hands and the brayer create my large, architecturally defined, non-representational compositions. This process of design and deconstruction truly gives me a feeling of "being totally in the moment."
Being a cancer survivor of Hodgkin’s has influenced my pace to slow down and “smell the roses,” and enjoy life’s moments. The moments of creativity, contemplation and the application and manipulation of paint and surface, is what my artistic journey is all about for me.
Art for me is the feeling and the emotional connection between canvas, paint and painter, which exposes the depth of layers and creative energy through which my mind has journeyed.
