ARTIST: Tike
The artist is inspired by the San Francisco Bay, capturing the essence of landscapes and the soulful impressions they evoke. Her work invites viewers to embark on an adventure, to escape from the mundane and travel to another world.
"A sunset can summon a variety of emotions and memories depending on the lighting, the color, and the movement of the brush strokes. ... stimulated by the infinite possibilities ... I use oil paint along with brushes and palette knives. Oil paints .... have vibrancy and dynamic colors.
I use multiple palette knives to create depth and texture within my paintings. I love to use diverse textures that come out when slathering paint onto a canvas.
Depending on the stroke and pressure used, I can get various effects to come out. The random and beautiful patterns that one can create are infinite."
