Carmen Dominique Taxer
WestburyHappy accidents all the way down.
Artist, writer, and crafter of kooky stuff. I lean towards the dark and beautiful, but I also sometimes just have no idea what I'm doing. Might be a skill issue, might be the universe talking to me via art.
Artistic background
Art is the place I go to when I need to express an overwhelming emotion, but can't find the words. As a writer, I find it funny that finding words to express my feelings is so difficult, but painting and drawing have allowed me that outlet.I enjoy playing around with colour and techniques, and I have a broad style focus, dallying in the human form, landscapes, still lifes, and abstract art.
Most notably, I shy away from the 'clean' effect, ensuring that my pieces are drippy, scruffy, and gritty to resemble real life, an overgrown garden, or a cluttered mind.
Art is therapy, and therapy is messy; never neat and tidy, and easily sorted into lines and formats.
