Meg Krakowiak

When starting a new piece of work, I think about the concept and the composition. But COLOR is always my inspiration.

I work from memory. Paying attention to color palettes in nature and how they change, I make mental notes of what I see and feel.

I use acrylic paint and other water-based materials, working quickly in tempo with my favorite songs. I recreate and exaggerate the imagery sharing a memory with the viewer,as well as teach them to see the colors around them.

Originally I was an abstract oil painter. Intuitively I would add more paint, movement, shape and texture to the work. As the piece developed, the color would bring me into the painting. My work was emotionally expressive, pressing my feelings out onto the canvas. Now, drawing with pastels my work is more about deliberate choices. My painting compositions reflect my stories about travel, love and family. My inspiration is derived from mother nature, learning and exploring the world outside myself as well as my internal journey of self-reflection.
