Lee Muslin

Guided by intuition, I create art that is about expression and movement. I am drawn to the freedom of abstraction and the inherent challenges in painting that is not based in reality, but in the imagination. An introvert by nature, it’s in my paintings where I explode. As contradictory as it may seem, I am an avid swing dancer and that energy gets transferred to the canvas. Listening to music while I work, the rhythms and sounds mix with the paint. I enjoy various types of music and have done many types of social dancing through the years. Accordingly, my intuitive strokes change with the music from soothing and mellow with jazz to the full out exuberance of jive. This free flowing improvisation captures the unconscious to bring forth an emotional response. The process is an ebb and flow, painting spontaneously, then stepping back to evaluate the formal concerns of color, shape, balance and composition to influence my next move. Experimenting with different techniques and materials adds dimension to this visual dance, resulting in many layers of paint over line and texture leaving intriguing traces of what came before. Each piece offers an exhilarating opportunity to venture into the realm of pure spirit.
