MEAGHAN FENNESSY KEELEY
I am a mixed media painter
"Playing on the Surface "
____________________________________________
I Paint to Explore, Experience & Experiment
Mark Making , Blurts, Scrapes, Scrubs & Washes define my creative flow
I use my hands, pallet knife, brayer , brushes, spray bottles, paper towels, squeegees, wax, oils, acrylics, polymers, and charcoal to let an uninhibited process of paint and application take over. I am truly in the moment.
Most artworks are unconceived except for color palette & dimensions, I let the surface speak as my journey of "Playing on the surface " ignites the flow of creativity .
Some days, pure genuis. Other days just stepping stones to discovery .
