We are delighted to bring you this interview with non-objective abstract painter and teacher, Krista Harris. In this interview Krista shares how she has been making art all her life, how she transitioned from representational to abstract, along with many of the important things she teaches students in her workshops.
Some highlights from the interview:
• How she came to make the work she is now making.
• How she begins a painting, stays engaged and keeps it fresh and alive.
• Her thoughts on editing and finishing abstract work.
• Giving yourself the gift of time and learning when trying to find where you’re headed next.
• Pay attention to your tendencies and be a student of your own work.
• Our job as artists is to be the filters. The work is the by-product.
