Aubrey Gann Redmon TM, Visual Art and Creative Prose

Art is a Lifestyle.

I have been painting, drawing, and taking photographs - and journaling about philosophy and art - since I was five. The little white journal with a fake gold lock and multi-colored hearts all over it was filled with doodles and thoughts and kept under a loose piece of carpet in the back of my closet. Through the years, art has been many things, but always a constant companion and friend. Its been a means of therapy to process grief, trauma, and pain; its been a way to decompress, rebel, and maintain a sense of self despite working within rigid, unforgiving systems of justice. It has also been a means of channeling my innermost musings, finding a way to express my connection with the Universe, the Cosmos, Nature, and the synchronistic miracles I encounter each day. Metamorphosis and Transcendence of the human condition through the healing journey of art has the potential to unify us all. 

The fluid nature of paint reminds me that there is a flow of energy that connects us all, and even if we cannot connect with something on the physical plane, there may be room for connections and healing to occur in realms beyond our immediate perception. Some of the art and paintings play with the idea of getting lost in brushstrokes and color, evoking emotions of wonder and meditation. I also like working with found objects, everything from walls, to cutting boards, to doilies crocheted by ancestors, and especially yard art statues. Everyday objects can be transformed into new pieces, connecting the past and future, and putting a new twist on the ordinary items that may have outlived their average life, but go one to be transformed and reincarnated into a new expression. Most of my painting is done on canvas stretched over custom steel frames so they do not warp or bend. My husband, Chet Redmon, is a metal artist/sculptor and he has always provided me with endless inspiration and encouragement. His art is displayed at www.chetredmon.com.
