about the work |
|
Color and design are dominant elements in my approach to painting. My favorite subjects include complex landscapes, intimate flower studies and energetic abstracts.
Coming from an extensive professional career in interior
architecture, I often include interesting building elements, weathered
objects, or furniture in my compositions. My richly patterned abstracts
are a translation of years of designing intricate space plans and scaled
furniture drawings. I love to build on improvisational applications of the acrylic medium (from thin to thick consistencies) to achieve character and depth through layered effects. This technique allows both transparent color and line in contrast to bold and solid areas of color that result in interesting, complex surfaces. This combination of strong color and bold
design in partnership with the versatile acrylic medium allows me to
create works of beauty and optimism. I work with these familiar subjects
of our everyday lives because they evoke a special memory for me and
hopefully for the viewer. I strive to create hopefulness in our hectic
culture through my art. Liefje is represented by: Bobbe Gillis, Inc. Atlanta
