EVOLUTION OF ART: Cherie M. Redlinger's artist statement

As a follow-up to the interview I did with Cherie about her exhibit at Beanetics, here's what Cherie has to say about her work:

“Essence”

Through my artwork, I have sought a new hybrid art form to give depth to the human figure. I have used this art form to express the ESSENCE of a single moment in time. I favor capturing this action through a fluid line statement. With this freedom of expression, I convene the sensation of this experience. The speed with which I execute my mind’s experience preserves the spontaneity and yields expressive distortions. I find there to be a certain integrity in clean line work. Simple color is a necessary adjunct for minimum resolution and spacial definition. The surface textures of my work are visual and tactile, resulting from the use of a water-based compound. For me, the work becomes artifact, emulating a marked cave wall. The emotional and instinctual impulse that has driven me along a path to search for a new form of expression has brought the depths of the spirit of the moment out through the texture, color, and capturing my mind’s ESSENCE through my line work.
