Nancy Halifax:   Future Interpretive

A series of acrylic paintings by Richmond Artist Nancy Halifax

My paintings are successful when they tell me the story rather than my forcing them into some preconceived notion of what they should be.  I always have a jump off point or concept to begin with but I try to allow each painting to have a life of its own.  When the work begins to develop some new direction, I try to follow, grasping onto threads and following tangents. 

I have been concentrating on Tsunamis, Hurricanes and Floods as my point of departure.  My latest works begin with the same themes, but with an organic, painterly overlay which suggests plant growth.  They are emotional, colourful, and energetic reactions to the awesomeness of nature, global warming and things that are beyond our control.  What they are not I think, is negative.  I have left room for optimism and hope  for  our collective future.
