“I am the canvas ………………..that continues to learn, evolve, and change.” My change is seen through the looseness or tightening in my strokes. When expressing my awareness and perceptions, I enjoy sharing my colors most of all.
Iva Milson’s inspiration comes from childhood memories of watching her father paint. She recalls a warm, awe-inspiring, and calm environment as he painted vibrant scenery from Hawaii . The Hawaiian culture, the island flora, the people, the red clay soil, the language, the culture, and the music, lend an infusion of warmth, humor, and comfort.
Ms. Milson, a self taught artist, works to express feelings with her choice of colors and texture on canvas. She is influenced by the works of Paul Gauguin, Marc Chagall , Frida Kahlo, Barrington Watson, Henry Tanner, John Outterbridge, and Georgia O’Keefe, to name a few.
