The Dance Begins
The Dance Begins
Winkler, whose studio is in the former mining town of Hillsboro, New Mexico, is a longtime regular artist at RioBravoFineArt. She has a distinctive style with an energetic use of color, graphic elements in abstract patterns, and, sometimes, a hint of a representational element.
My work is often based in an energetic brush with abstract patterns of circles or dots, but sometimes they have representational elements to share the space. It is important the viewer know that these pieces reflect emotions, ideas, dreams...that we all share. They are quite personal in their fashion. And if the viewer is looking for more than pure decoration, I’m there with them. Though, having a ‘beautiful’ painting or drawing is also important to me.I use titles to lead the viewer in my direction, but I wouldn’t dare to answer any questions in the work. They are all about ‘being’ and not about ‘the way.’ I am a lover of the paint! Having worked with Nathan Oliveira was a highlight of my working career, he taught me not how to paint, but made me think WHY I paint and that intent and content is all. Heartfelt and true.
