What is color and why it matters to me so much?

I think it is pretty obvious from this website and my Instagram that I am in love with color. As in ... deep deep passionate love. Colors are a never-ending source of inspiration and delight for me and I bring them to you in my textile designs and abstract watercolors. What is color and why it matters to me so much?

The definition of color is as follows: "the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light." I sit in my backyard as I write this blog and indeed, I am surrounded by objects that bring spectacular sensations to my eye: green trees, red lawn chairs, blue sky, silver grill ...

I use objects around me as sources to use their colors in my abstract watercolors. And as you can see, I seem to live in the most colorful world ever! Why does color matter to me so much? Because, simply put, it is good for us. It's been proven that color can affect our mood, that it can change our outlook on things. In my art classes, colors bring all of us - me as the teacher and my students - together as we explore them through a variety of artistic different mediums. Colors are powerful: they can open our hearts to awe and connection.

Blog is done ... and I am off to paint more. Because there are so many more colors to love and to bring to the world. If you like what you see, you can find my abstract watercolors at OAK in Kensington, MD, and you can get regular updates on my Instagram page. See you soon in the amazing world of color!
