Ileen Israel - America Print
Painter



I paint because I like to watch the magic happen. It is rather like magic, seeing the images grow from an experience or an emotion, to something visible. I like to watch the paint move, to see the conversation between the colours. I am always aware of the visual rhythm of the art. Like a piece of music, it leads you on to a crescendo and then gently out again. It syncopates, drifts, or thunders.

I guess I'm a story teller. Using pastels, acrylics, or oils, I create from my life experiences. I have been painting professionally for over 20 years. Due to various circumstances, I have only been able to paint and show sporadically. Even so, I have received local and national awards, and have sold work from coast to coast. Now, circumstances have changed and I look forward to showing up more often.

I hope my work adds to your life experience.
