IT STARTS WITH A LINE

About The 2020 Collection

 

It Starts With a Line

Each painting in this collection starts with one bold line. Some stop there and some are continued with additional coloured lines. Through line art I’ve discovered one line is all it takes to start something new; to create something. 

All of these paintings were created with bold lines that start in the same way and follow a similar path, but produce a unique outcome. The body of work focuses on balance and flow through continuous lines and smooth curves. 

The theme of these works is friendship. This collection came to be because of the encouragement and support of those around me. Without my friends and family, who I consider to be friends, I could have never started this new project. 

Every friendship is unique, but encompasses similar values. Each of these paintings have been named after an aspect of relationships that I cherish. 

To me, these paintings relate to friendship because, like these works, every friendship starts with one line; a single phrase or conversation. One line is all it takes to create something new; to meet someone new. Being bold enough to start can be the most intimidating, but is ultimately the most rewarding.

Creating a new project or connecting with others is easiest when you are boldly yourself. 

Be bold. 

Start.
