Marilyn McEvoy

When I begin to paint, my focus will be on bold colors and a dynamic composition. My abstract paintings have been described as unique, different and striking. I prefer bright colors, angles, lines (no circles, please) and a minimalist composition. Additionally, I use shades of gray, teal and red in my work since those colors speak to me as colors that evoke both life’s excitement and future. Applying paint to canvas, I like to go with the flow and mood of the day as this process promotes spontaneity and, I think, results in a more lively result. I don’t like clutter in my life and my minimalistic compositions reflect that desire to keep things simple. I love when someone looks at my painting and the composition evokes a memory or the colors speak to them since to me that indicates my work has drawn them in to linger and enjoy the art.
