"Art often is seen and felt as an enlightening and emotive personal experience. The visual language of spontaneous shards of dynamic colors against the softest cloudlike subtle hues, is how I express my artistic voice. In an abstract form, I like to engage others into their own perceptions of what they see. We all assimilate our environment and life’s experiences very individually which I personally express on canvas with varying overlays of transparent and opaque paints, even though the subject and meaning of each work is apparent to me it is still through the eyes of the observer that the final conclusions are made." - Miertje Skidmore
