I use very thick and expressive brushstrokes which create a textured pattern. I can't imagine this painting without texture. Brushstrokes add interest to the painting, but they also add energy.#. . . . . . . #studiomakers #studio #artoftheday #gallery #paint #instaart #creative #artwork #painting #artist #inspiration (at Robertsbridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoLzmzeAKfK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hezuqvcwam3f

Another acrylic from 2016. It is funny how certain sections of you paintings become your favorites. I’m constantly turning my canvas over in every direction making sure I am pleased with it from all views. I was most happy with this color palette. . . . . . . . . . #studiomakers #studio #art #abstractexpressionism #artsmill #painting #pauladestefanis #paulaspalette #makingmymark #interiordesign #contemporaryart #modernart (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJNJpjgeTa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nmmykezcity7

Detail from the 2016 acrylic series. Yes, it did begin with a figurative study. A lot of people who don’t understand abstraction don’t realize often artist who create strong abstractions have a large drawing background. My artistic development contains a major emphasis on drawing and the human figure. I just got to a point where I needed a new kind of exploration. My art is constantly moving and changing.

I found this photo on my desk today. This group of lovelies came together to build a temple, the Arts Mill. In this photo we are on the studio level carving out an epic design. All of these people are still in the Arts Mill life (except I have no idea who the dude in the back is). The best part of this photo? None of us are wearing skinny jeans!! . . . . . #artsmill #sherimabry #susanmajewski #pauladestefanis #studiomakers #art #artists #suecibulka #matthewrielly https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuIB2fHyHw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rqco7hvtqilk
