Aleta Pippin's paintings are about experimentation and process. She
delights in her layering technique used when painting in oil. Pippin
spreads thin glazes of color upon thin glazes of color - always with a
goal of creating visual depth and texture, with energetic, warm, vibrant
color.
Pippin’s mixed media paintings are usually done with acrylics, though
she is currently experimenting with oils, patinas, composition leaf and
resins. She strives for interest in surface texture, as well as for
depth and light, as she experiments with these various media to achieve that
desired effect.
Courageously experimenting with different techniques and media,
eventhough it may cost a painting, Pippin is excited about pushing each
painting to a "higher level" and witnessing its unfolding as one would
witness a moth becoming a butterfly. The delight she feels as this
metamorphosis takes place is palpable and inspirational.
Her paintings are intuitive, a dance with the various media. Music, joy
and love are infused in the work.
Pippin is more than simply a painter; she is an artist who reaches out
with her media to touch each person in the very core of their being,
that place in all of us that does not recognize shape or form, but
innately reacts to color, passion, joy and possibility. It is her
desire that viewers of her work be moved by the beauty.
Aleta Pippin is co-founder of Pippin Meikle Fine Art. She is a
multi-talented person who has had success in art (her paintings are
collected internationally) as well as the business world.
