Description
Title: Love Has No Boundaries
Year: 2008, original, signed
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Size: 24"x18" canvas, framed: 25.5"x19.5"
Frame: Black Wood (all of my frames are simple and elegant so paintings may be hung immediately in any decor or easily changed if desired)
Hanging Preferences: One of the reasons I love abstract paintings is because of the way they speak so individually to each viewer (see Artist's Statement below). When I hang my work in a show, I display each piece in the way I originally painted it and how I see it. However, for you, hanging it "upside down" might work better. Therefore, I show both options in the photos below ("right side up" first and "upside down" last).
About the Artist:
Art by JK
paintings of passion and spirit
www.jerilynkolbin.com
Jerilyn Kolbin works as a fine artist mostly in the PioneerValley in Western Massachusetts. Her passion for paint stems from her first experience with paint at an easel in the back of her First Grade classroom and has never left her despite her various life paths.
Jerilyn is a "self-taught" artist, meaning she continually studies technique and style from books, courses and other artists. She is involved in many critique and study groups and works at her art daily in her home studio.
She shows her work frequently, steadily expanding throughout and beyond New England. Viewers of her work often comment on the honesty of emotion portrayed: that each piece is genuine: truly from the heart.
Artist Statement:
I am often asked the symbolic meaning of my paintings, to which I respond: There are no words. Sometimes there are no words in any dictionary to describe the expanse and depth of emotions each person carries within. That's why I paint. Through painting, I find comfort in allowing myself to be vulnerable and let myself express the deepest, undefined, but truest part of me--the part that must communicate, shout and be released, but has no written or oral language. And in return, the symbolic meaning is whatever each individual viewer sees--perhaps a reflection of their own feelings.
I paint because I have a drive inside that won't rest. When the paint-filled brush touches the painting surface, my concept of time disappears, and peace so strong fills my bloodstream. It is so powerful, that as the textures, colors and images grow before me, I feel as though I am sending out a wave into the world, bringing a sense of calm somewhere else as well.
My paintings may look like a blur to another, but to me, it is the clearest path of answers I know.
