 Caridad Kennedy Bio & Statement
In general, I would describe my artwork as abstract landscapes.  They are imaginative places where the natural world becomes a metaphor for sentiment and experience. In my abstract landscapes, I consider not just the physical environment, but also the interplay it may have with the psyche in an effort to express humanity.  This aspect of my work is often reflected in the titles.

When searching for images, I rely on the mind (the unconscious/memory), the body (my physical response to the properties of paint) and the spirit (intuitive images which come to me via experience and vision).  Largely relying on memory and occasionally using my own sketches, I enjoy working with organic shapes to explore/deconstruct forms.  Searching for balance between form and color is an endless quest.   The organic/representational forms are intended to draw the viewer in to engage in visual play and completion of narrative through visual gestalt.  Movement is often captured and frequently noted by others in my work which serves as a visual reflection of time, energy and experience. Color and material choices are selected to express emotionality accordingly and range from acrylics, oils, watercolor and other mixed media on paper or canvas.

I am also currently documenting my process and journey on Instagram: @caridadkennedyart .
