Original art by Tricia Strickfaden
Strickfaden works with the artistry of color, line and texture to portray a singular interpretation of her connection with nature and the ocean in her Abstract works. The pieces show principles of design, composition and texture, translucent and opaque dripped color, and layering. She draws inspiration from the colors of the ocean and landscape, yet interprets them in an organically shaped abstract application. These pieces are a mixed media of recycled house paint, ink and pastel and/or oil stick either on wood panel or canvas.
For her Landscape paintings, she anchors us with a horizon line, and lifts us up to the skies with her ethereal clouds, then grounds us again, floating on her undulating waters. Sometimes they are depictions of foggy, misty days, sunlit afternoons at the shore, or remembrances of spectacular sunsets. They are recollections of Strickfaden’s experiences and travels, and love of coastal living. Her works are a modern interpretation of the landscape and are not always a literal conception, but yet instead suggests a quality of earth, sea, and sky in atmospheric and often textural oil on canvas medium.
Strickfaden is constantly perfecting her art, always pushing, changing, and trying new approaches to her work. She looks for inspiration in the beauty and color of everyday life. She feels that without this constant change, her work would be lifeless.
