Explorations: Experimental Series |
||
Creating ART is often an experimental process. I must have balance in my life. Whereby sometimes I paint in a rigid fashion, I have come to appreciate learning to loosen up at times and explore for the shear fun of it. The paintings shown here are explorations of themes, materials, effects, and color, to name a few. . Click title for a shortcut to information on a piece. Please contact me for more information.

POETRY: "Don't Fence Me In: Exploring Impossible" (c) 2004 by Eugenia Algaze Garcia
I have taken this word out of the dictionaryM aking comfortable what used to be scary (and quite contrary).P arameter Stretching,O r changing, equals idea fetching.S urrendering a paradigmS ensitizes what was previously sublime.I f these sentencesB reak up fences,L et it be from the word's removal -E nlightening approval.
If you separate the "I" and "M" (I'M), which focuses on self-improvement, from the rest of the word, then "Possible" can become a reality.
