ArtMoCo is a really valuable site for any art lover. I am always being turned onto something amazing like the work of Ricki Mountain.
Mountain is an Abstract Expressionist out of Northern California. She works in many different mediums. I hope to post more from her work in the future. Today, I am posting several of her paintings. It was difficult to choose just three. In the future I hope to post some of her mixed media and collage work.
This from Ricki Mountain's artist statement:
"Painting is for me the process of discovering what I want to see. I have always been attracted to the unknown rather than the known. For this reason abstraction is a natural and intuitive choice."I am constantly mixing and matching to find a balance between tension and harmony, spontaneity and control, empty space and active space, depth and surface.
"A painting is complete when it no longer demands anything from me."
