Strokes by Red Linda Harrison

This event took place on May 3, 2021. See upcoming events in Vero Beach.

Fine Art expressed with Contemporary Abstracts. Vibrant colors, different textures and unique, fluid movements are elements in Red's original acrylic and oil paintings. Red connects with the world through her canvas. Her voice is the expression of abstract art. Abstract art allows the abstract artist to freely express her creative spirit with imagination not bound by reality. Through the use of color, strokes, textures, and shapes; her abstracts come to life. She creates with brushes, palette knives and often just her fingers using oils and acrylics.

Red loves the free-flowing movement of abstracts. It is her inner voice. She says "I don't choose the content, it chooses me. I paint best when I let my hands do the talking". Integral to her artwork is her love of and connection to Nature and Music. Red says that both evoke sensory experiences that awaken her creativity and frees her human spirit. To better connect with her audience, she writes an uplifting short story for each painting. These stories may have some history, uplifting quotes, or discussion about music. Her narratives are woven with facts about music, interesting tidbits about history, accounts of nature's inspirational spirit, and descriptions of how color influences us; and of course, she shares her life experiences that are intertwined in the painting's essence. Red says that her art is an adventure, at times daring, whimsical, passionate, and challenging; but always expressive. Abstract art allows her to freely express her spirit of Red with imagination not bound by reality. She hopes her art touches each
