Steevie Jane’s Art

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Steevie  Jane  Parks

I almost always paint intuitively. I start by creating large areas of complimentary colors and then I gradually delineate abstract shapes and try to integrate the colors and shapes into a coherent painting that conveys an emotional or spiritual message.  I find the process of creating an abstract painting to be both challenging and exhilarating. I often listen to novels or music while I’m painting and I am always fascinated to discover how the content of what I am listening to unconsciously influences the content and style of my work.  I enjoy playing with light, color and texture, and the way that different paint mediums can be manipulated to create almost any mood one can think of.  I find that by creating abstract paintings, I am able to symbolically come to terms with a variety of emotional and spiritual challenges that are common to all people.  My hope is that my audience will also find my paintings healing on both an emotional and a spiritual level.

ARTIST’S BIO

 I started painting realistically in oils at age nine and took art lessons all the way through college both privately and as a student at Syracuse University, Sarah Lawrence College and the Arts Students League of New York.  After a 35 year long career as a  Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist in private practice, I took up painting again, but decided that I much preferred to paint large colorful abstracts.  I was a member of the Orange County Artists Guild from 2019 to 2020, and then moved to Pittsboro where I am currently serving as the Board President of the Chatham Artists Guild.  I have been showing and selling my work since 2013, and have been juried into a large number of local, national and international art shows to date. I am currently looking for a few good contemporary art galleries where I can show my work.
