Michelle Thornburg-Artist's Statement
My
style of creating artwork is painting from the subconscious. There are no
carefully planned sketches, no grids, it is just me and my paint with no
expectations of anything but painting. I use my hands to apply the paint
directly onto my canvas, no rules, just whatever feels right. The key for me is
to let go of the conscious world
around me, and just paint, allowing my hands
to take the lead. Eventually the painting reveals itself. It’s like daydreaming
on a canvas.
