Kate Hendrickson's Groups

I am...: NOW DRAWING. With an absence of nearly 30 years as a practicing artist where creative energies were always focused elsewhere, the need to make art became so intense that it could no longer be denied. Could the buried ability that lay dormant all these years be unearthed? A good friend who is a well known painter encouraged with the assurance of, “You have not wasted nor lost 30 years. You have had 30 years of input and it has to output somewhere”.

As a dealer in fine arts, an intImate connection to the action of making art had remained although obviously from another view point.. Frequent travels in Europe as well as in North America helped build a visual library thus expanding the visual vocabulary.

About my artwork: CHIAROSCURO - SPACE - MYSTERY - SENSUOUSNESS
Early influences in a past abstraction that were derived from landscapes are elements that come forth in the new work. Light and shadow dictate a sense of space which define it as well as dissolve it. The areas of ambiguity create a sense of mystery as well as a tactile sensuousness in the forms.

Nice reminder that if the need to create is within you, it cannot be denied forever.

Sorry for not responding earlier on, I've been hard at it (painting), so not been online, and only just received notification via email....
I got your comment now though, and must say many thanks for your kind words :)

Also, yes - there does seem to be a dearth so-called 'traditional-based' skills in evidence these days (guess it requires such things as a little 'concentration and learning' which are kind of obsolete now, compared to creating something that is verbally explained in a fashionable context instead ;)

Having had a 'scout around' your work, it's obvious you're affinity with that of light and composition :)
