Lost Stories of Lights in Houses

Original mixed media collage painting by Kristen Neveu

Acrylic paint, salvaged vintage coloring book, paper and watercolor pencil

24X21X2 framed canvas

In my abstract mixed media art, I'm inspired by the textures and colors found in nature. The interplay between life, death, strength and resiliency is a pattern that emerges in my paintings and sculptures. I often utilize salvaged possessions while experimenting with paint, pencils, paper and fabric and wood fragments. There’s also a layering effect with the materials, reflecting the patterns of loss and accumulation. Art provides solace to me. I want to share this solace with others when they experience my art.
