Rebecca Horne
Empowerment comes from connecting to the life force within. I believe there is an empowering Higher Self within all of us and art is a healing influence that can connect us with that force.
The process of discovering each of these paintings is very important to me. Each image comes after as many as 20 layers of color and paint. At times the images are inspired from a phrase in a book; sometimes my muse is another piece of art or an icon from another civilization.
Color is an important element of this work. Studying the metaphysical science of color in chakras and energy fields has influenced me to use strong color in my own work. Volunteering for Healing Touch in a hospital-setting helped me experience the "feeling" of color and the healing aspects it can generate.
By defining these images on canvas, I capture only one essence of their expansive nature. The viewer brings to each work their own experience, needs and expectations. My hope is that these images offer others the comfort, hope and encouragement that they have given me.
