BELLE MANES

 

Hello and welcome to my gallery, . . .

 

 

 

I AM AN ABSTRACT PAINTER, OFTEN MAKING USE OF THE FIGURE TO

EXPLORE A UNIVERSAL PAST. UNDERSTRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT AS WELL

AS LINE, TO UNCOVER GHOSTLY IMAGES FROM ODALESQUES TO CHILDHOOD

GAMES TO MY OWN ROLE AS AN ARTIST. I WORK MOSTLY IN OIL ON LINEN.

IT IS MY JOURNEY AND I AM COMFORTED BY MEMORIES AND THE GIFT OF

HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS…..SO THE WORK AND I SHARE A DIALOGUE

THAT INVOLVES PLANTING SEEDS AND PULLING WEEDS.
