Agnes is a published artist, art instructor and creative guide. Her online collection of artistic workshops have served thousands of students internationally and she prides herself on giving devoted care and support to her student body. Depending on the message behind the work, I am drawn to either intense hues, earthy palettes or subdued pastels. Elements of nature are frequently seen with my figures, reminding us of our connection to the natural world. Birds are messenger icons in my work. Words and poetry, as well as automatic writing, are sometimes interwoven into the composition to further the meaning and intention of the work. While I use a variety of materials and processes in each project my methodology is rather consistent. It is a layering process. Some layers are obliterated and others revealed. I often incorporate the use of my non-dominant hand as a way to further connect to my intuiton and vary my mark. Through constant exploration of both media and concept, new inspiration grows and leads to the next body of my work.
