Randa Dubnick
Artist Statement:
My recent paintings are part of a series of mountain landscapes inspired by memories and daydreams of my home state of Colorado. The mountains are in my mind's eye and I try to capture the beautiful lines of the Rocky Mountains and the colors of Colorado. The work is done from my imagination and my memories of the Colorado mountains. I work in acrylic paint, often on paper. I enjoy experimenting with techniques and approaches borrowed from watercolor, mixed media, printmaking, and even raku pottery, to create the shapes and textures of the mountains.
I make art every day. Since 2005, I have been posting an image daily on my blog, Randi Art. (randiart.blogspot.com)
