ARTIST STATEMENT
Madeline M. Allen
“SmudgeArt,” the style of my art is the process of working within a pallet of colors from my most vibrant nature photography. Making art soothes my yearning to be creative and allows me the opportunity to share my art with others.
My work is often described as having evoked joy, serenity, and a sense of illusion and magic.
“SmudgeArt” is all about emotion, patterns, fluidity and color that flow naturally from my emotion at the time of design. Often times I find myself pushing the envelope and going beyond the conventional bounds in art. I am my own leader, self taught and enjoy experimenting with the “what if’s” in art. Energetic, spirited, and at times whimsical, the textured colors of SmudgeArt add drama and illusion and are always aimed at the soul.
Rivers, lakes and forests surrounded me as a child. Having grown up in eastern Canada in the small town of Badger, Newfoundland. Autumn with its rich reds, jewel-like gold, bright oranges and warm ambers set a pallet of colors that are forever etched in my mind. Wild animals and birds were a common sight, as were the beautiful sunsets of hot summer evenings. The tones of the maple and the birch, along with the tamarack, pine and spruce trees, with their different shades of green that clad the hills, forest and valleys are part of my soul and always will inspire and influence my art.
