Abstract Duel (2015) 绘画 由 Paisley Marten

From the age of 3, when I received my first framed art of Frida Kahlo, creativity has been my steadfast companion. As a writer and artist, each contributes to the symphony of my life. In my studio, I have been playing with colors and textures since high school. Much like a conductor guiding an intimate ensemble of imagination, the canvas becomes my orchestra, and every brushstroke plays a note in the composition of my artistic journey. 

Drawing from a rich lineage that includes ancestors such as Jackson Pollock, Agnes Bernice Martin, and Alfred Barr—one of the luminaries behind the founding of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)—my art education is deeply rooted in both history and innovation. This heritage has inspired me to engage directly with MoMA's educational offerings, where I immersed myself in classes that expanded my understanding and appreciation of art. My journey into the realm of abstract expressionism was profoundly influenced by the work of Ed Swarez, whose techniques and visions have been a cornerstone of my artistic development. Additionally, contemporary artists like Kit King, Adele Sypesteyn, Carla McAfee, and Pauline Agnew have provided me with invaluable insights and inspiration, demonstrating the power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought in myriad ways. Beyond these individual mentors, I have also benefited from the teachings of the Gillian Lee Smith Art School and Art Academy, as well as a selection of ten college art classes that further broadened my horizons. This eclectic and comprehensive art education has been instrumental in shaping my creative philosophy, blending traditional techniques with modern interpretations to forge a style that is uniquely my own.
