This painting, for me, represents the different phases of life. In all of their beauty and love. Teal and blue colors brought me peace while painting, hopefully they will bring you peace in your home.

Van Ness Artist Statement
I am an American oil painter, painting figures, animals and abstracts. I hold a BFA in design from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MA & MFA in painting from Fontbonne University.

Painting for me is how I organize my thoughts and communicate. In this busy world painting calms my mind and brings peace to my soul. I feel as if I soak up information and transfer to the canvas through paint. My painting method is very intuitive, I let the composition take me were it will. Creating abstract, abstract-expressionism and impressionism in my art. Laying down colors with an idea, using oils then add other materials as needed. Oil pastel is a favorite medium.

I was drawn to oil painting because of the expressive qualities I can create. Communicating my feelings of the moment through paint is my goal. What is going on in the world around us is important to me. The meditative feel of moving paint around a canvas and the therapeutic application of color is what I crave. 

My intention is viewers will feel what I feel and see what I see and bring calm.

I use sustainable materials, such as recycled materials, eco-friendly frames and natural pigments.
