Artist Paige Hirsch offers a selection of her intuitive abstract paintings that focus on color and texture. More of her work can be found on her website.
“Orange Delight” mixed media on canvas, 14″ x 14″
I am a self-taught abstract artist living in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland.
“Blu Full” mixed media on canvas, 24″ x 24″
I begin each piece by choosing the color palette. I have a strong color sense and I love letting the colors play with each other.
“Summer Fun” mixed media on wood panel, 24″ x 24″
Color is the most important element of each painting; until the colors I add are working perfectly together, nothing else I do will make the painting work. Some of my color combinations are bold, some more serene, but each palette is the perfect choice for each piece.
“Savanna Two” mixed media on wood panel, 8″ x 8″
Most of my paintings include texture, either existing on the canvas before the piece is started or by my use of hand-drawn marks and patterns that create visual texture.
“Starlight” mixed media on canvas, 14″ x 14″
While taking my daily walk around my neighborhood I am inspired by all of the natural texture that exists in my everyday life. I make a conscious effort to look around and take in my surroundings. Because I live in the city, I never run out of new interesting, inspiring textures to discover.
“Mild Mannered” mixed media on wood panel, 24″ x 24″
As I work on each piece, I let my intuition lead the way. There are so many problems to solve with each piece. Do I do this or that? Do I stop or keep going? Do I love or hate this area of the painting? Am I happy with the how the painting is progressing?
“Wild Blue” mixed media on wood panel, 20″ x 24″
I choose to paint abstracts because I do not have to follow any rules or make something look like something else. The outcome of each of my paintings is unknown until its done.
“Bright Day” mixed media on canvas, 18″ x 24″
A majority of my paintings are bright and colorful. I want each of my pieces to bring joy to the people viewing or owning the work.
“Wacky” mixed media and collage on wood, 12″ x 25.5″
What I love most about painting is that it is the only time during my day that I am in the zone. Nothing exists but what I am creating. There is no feeling like it.
“Sweetly” mixed media on wood panel, 8″ x 8″
I strive to continuously grow as an artist—each finished painting pushes me further in my growth. I love being an artist and hope that others can see that in each of my pieces.
