custom made abstract paintings to match any decor, abstract art

I started the triangle series the summer of 2016 while staying at a lake in New Hampshire.

Flipping through an old quilting book looking for painting inspiration, I came across a section of patterns called Flying Geese which refers to rows of triangles.

There were geese honking on the lake. It seemed like a sign.

I've been painting triangles ever since.

I remembered a quilt I made when I was twenty. It was a wedding gift. The woman at the fabric store said I had to pick out a plain white fabric for the background. I don't know why I had to rebell against the idea, but I chose a very busy pattern for the background and made the other pieces plain.

These paintings are an echo of that decision.
