the art of Joanne DeBrass
" My art is a means for me to be totally spontaneous, to let my subconscious take over, to renew and refresh my inner being, almost more than food, air and water do. It links me to the divine, to something transcendental, taking me away from the mundane and analytical motions of daily life. Music, dance and the play of light touch my soul and play a big role in my art. This rhythm of motion is visible in my art, in the brushstrokes, the choice of colours and shapes. I like to capture the light (and therefore shade) in nature, the light in people's souls: the passion they feel doing the things they love. I hope that this is what viewers take away from my art: a moment of connection with the passion and light, captured in the artwork. "
