Colorful, Van Gogh-influenced style created through my time at Immersive Van Gogh, Charlotte

Bold, brilliant colors and contrasts have always infused my painting, but after a month with fellow artists and art-lovers as an artist-in-residence at the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit in the summer of 2021, I found a whole rainbow palette of colors bursting through in strokes designed to echo the master.

I started with scenes from my travels to Holbox, Mexico and Hawaii for the Island Starry Night series. Then pictures from my last big trip before the pandemic cried out to turn Chicago scenes into City Starry Nights. I was inspired to bring the scenes closer to home with scenes from around my home in Gaston County, NC in Suburban Starry Nights and Small Town Starry Nights.

While landscapes feel like the most organic subject for these styles, especially with swirling night skies, I have also experimented with florals and Rainbogh Portraits, including pets, my children, and self-portrait. I feel like the Rainbogh palettes can truly electrify and give life to subjects it soaks into.
