Piece description from the artist
As an artist, I am always amazed at how hard it is to be simple. Editing and slowly taking away information until you achieve balance with as few lines as possible. It is so much fun to throw everything in the kitchen sink in and let the party happen. Yet, using fewer lines and colors is the challenge because each mark you make has to hold power and direction. There is no room for missing your mark. A great parallel for life right?
I love what these creatives have to say about simplicity…
"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." Hans Hoffman
"The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity" Douglas Horton
Maggie Jones Boudreaux loves all things, she is naturally curious and enjoys exploring all things to do with color, line and shape. Her consistency is inconsistency. Her work varies as her life varies. She enjoys creating abstracts, landscapes and botanicals. Maggie finds joy working in bright vibrant rich colors and find peace in soothing, calming neutrals. She says, " I cant't ever imagine sticking to one palette nor one subject matter. I believe it would take the joy out creating for me." Her enthusiasm comes from a natural curiosity of the world that surrounds her.
What's next? She is unsure… It is her aim to put one foot in front of the other and create based upon her daily experiences and blessings life brings her way. This is her spark. Her Joy. Maggie says, "She is forever grateful to be who she is and where she is. Her work is a response, an expression of her gratitude.
Maggie Jones Boudreaux has been working as a professional artist for the past fifteen years. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting with an emphasis in printing making as well a Masters of Education.
