2020 Launch - Fiona Wade.com/Shop

Picture

The shop is live, and my latest series, "Poetic Forms", is available for purchase.

"Poetic Forms" is an abstract painting series begun in spring of 2020, which continues to develop.

Many of these pieces feature glimpses of original poetry, written between 2006 and today.

While recovering from a severe MS relapse that left me incredibly restricted energy-wise- I started playing with many types of media and pushing further outside of my comfort zone with abstraction.
Beginning with high quality 135lb Italian paper and miscellaneous paint brushes, I lay initial acrylic washes of colour using my left hand. It is not my dominant arm, but its strength is more reliable than the other.

My right hand has more keen dexterity. I've figured it out that I can save mental energy for detail work by using my left hand for the "less important" steps in building images. Then, I work more rapidly with my dominant but neurologically-limited right arm, and a pallet knife.

It is really difficult to explain the complexity of how Multiple Sclerosis truly affects me, but I'm persevering and finding ways around obstacles day after day. When you need to make art, you find a way.
