strange place in her mind, where while everything is twisted, yet
somehow seems to fit. And The Light, is that sweeter side of life,
love, kisses, pretty yellow flowers, and most of the things she is
usually NOT about... also inclusive of 20 full color pages of ART ART

STEP INTO MY MINDS' EYE - FROM ANGELA GEGG
My definition of an artist is vast and extensive. As an artist, I find that based on my subconscious state, and as right brain as I may be, I design, draw, install, paint, and write. People are determined by left and right, I am right which is based on my left side. Being right brain, I am visual, and being visual, I am an artist.
I find it necessary to be inventive, self-expressive, searching, daring, and even disturbing, and in doing so, I am only hoping to enlighten and open ways for a better understanding of my art.
As a Subconscious painter, I paint from my altered conscious state. My work is based on Abstract - not to be mistaken for non-objective art, it is a translation of a real life object or experience, which usually implies isolation, emphasis, or exaggeration from some aspect of my perception of reality. I also use surrealistic techniques in my work. Surrealism is simply the interpretation of dreams, not only in my sleep, but also in my subconscious state of mind. Over the years, I have written theories and developed techniques for and about my works of art. I understand that every one has differences in the way that they perceive and represent their perceptions in a work of art.
Given these facts, I expect my art-lovers, onlookers, and buyers to look into their own subconscious state of mind and find the meaning and definition of each work of art through thoughts and idealisms of their own.
