STATEMENT:
I paint on wood because I enjoy the organic feel the surface evokes. Line, shape, color, and often negative space, are the tools I use to portray my feelings of the joy and beauty of the world. The “outline’ in my work is actually where I don’t paint, allowing the wood surface to be part of the composition. My current subjects include figures interacting with the landscape and various aspects of nature.
A partial documentation of my prolific body of work is available at www.LuWixon.com.
