Kate Hendrickson's Friends

Profile Information

I am...: NOW DRAWING. With an absence of nearly 30 years as a practicing artist where creative energies were always focused elsewhere, the need to make art became so intense that it could no longer be denied. Could the buried ability that lay dormant all these years be unearthed? A good friend who is a well known painter encouraged with the assurance of, “You have not wasted nor lost 30 years. You have had 30 years of input and it has to output somewhere”.

As a dealer in fine arts, an intImate connection to the action of making art had remained although obviously from another view point.. Frequent travels in Europe as well as in North America helped build a visual library thus expanding the visual vocabulary.

About my artwork: CHIAROSCURO - SPACE - MYSTERY - SENSUOUSNESS
Early influences in a past abstraction that were derived from landscapes are elements that come forth in the new work. Light and shadow dictate a sense of space which define it as well as dissolve it. The areas of ambiguity create a sense of mystery as well as a tactile sensuousness in the forms.

I happened to find your profile in Drawing group, and am intrigued by your stance and approach to your art practice. I myself believe that the drawing is the core and fundamental discipline for all creative practices. Perhaps you'd be interested in seeing my works...

you were one of two people I thought of when I found out about this.. There is a web site called createspace.com I would reccomend you to look at, if you are interested in creating a small book of your works, I think would be great. I am in the process of putting together a book myself of my works and will publish using there service.

This became fascinating to me, as it meant the brush was more in charge then the artist!
I have been studying root cultures since early childhood, and also had a "native" experience in the Pacific Northwest sometime ago, where I camped out for a summer, and realized why the art coming from there was the way it was.... as silent and grand as the landscape.
