The dictionary defines “Urban” as living in a city, characteristics of or accustomed to cities. As I live in the city, I began to see my art defining urban patterns of lines and drips. Everyday details of color and architecture surround me, influencing and contributing to my geometric vision.

Whether the raindrops dripping down windows or the criss-crosses in the street, detail comes alive, becomes fluid. The buildings are skeletons of line and reflections of metallic or iridescent color, dripping off the edge of a canvas. Layers of color and transparent shades, intertwining lines and overlapping patterns transform into a frame of calm chaos, where color and shape create meaning.

This “Urban” window becomes hypnotic, evolving into drips of paint, crisp lines and an array of color. This Urban method started through the hazel eyes of a little girl named Aegea, who saw the city she lived in just a little bit differently than everyone else.
