About Me
- bcooper
- I am a self-taught artist who started in New England with the blues, greys and greens of the ocean. As a Texas artist, I am still inspired by the blues of the oceans of Bluebonnets along the grey highways. You will find these colors lingering on my mind as they are represented in shapes and forms on my surfaces Painting is my valium and I thrive on finding new ways to interleave life into every piece using various mediums and tools. My favorite tool is the pallet knife which is occasionally replaced by an old discarded credit card and sometimes even a brush or two. I am fascinated with texture and experiment with many ways to build it into my pieces. The path I am on is an exciting journey where acrylic paint travels across canvas and paper, gets scraped off, painted over and, under its own power (much as the characters write the story for the author), it creates the piece for me. My art has been displayed in various shows in the area and pieces have found their way into the private collections of many. I thank Spirit and the Universe for my ability to express myself on the canvas and for allowing me to touch others with that gift.
