canadian artist Teresa Young painting Abstracted Visions - I believe abstraction in art is merely a way of expressing our own inner ‘landscapes’ or emotional atmospheres. I strive to do this with my patternistic, fractal compositions. Surreal Fantasies - Surrealism is a way of expressing our inner child, our ability to play with reality and life around us. Also, it can be a route to inner self exploration or even escapism in its strongest form. The result: Abstracted Surrealism My artwork contains strong aspects of both Surreal Fantasies and Abstraction, making for a meld of two strong forms that express my inner visions. wom en ART page 37
