Arabella Lewis – Art to Inspire

Arabella Lewis Arabella Lewis — Contemporary abstract artist of vibrant original paintings in rich bright colours. 

As an artist who thinks in images and colours I can find it challenging to express myself clearly with words. Reading Remember the Ice has helped me enormously to gain confidence in my word choice in articulating the creative process of painting. 

Here is a sequence of the four seasons:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

I work intuitively; often in a meditative state and with paint have found a strong rich means of personal expression. The paintings tell their own story visually.  However in order to introduce them to a wider audience words are necessary to give description and definition encouraging people to find a way to ‘read’ them.  Bob’s emphasis on keeping things simple is a key tool to create a powerful message.  I have become aware of the use of k(nots) and am consciously eliminating them.  By speaking clearly and directly, I have found a way to verbally communicate the thoughts behind the paintings.

Since reading Remember the Ice I have rewritten my artist statement, the copy on my website and started a blog. Posters, catalogues and other advertising material are now dynamic and highly effective.  These are all essential marketing tools for my work.  In the competitive art world, I am becoming more visible and my work is attracting increased interest.

On a wall near the computer, I pin up words that inspire me.  “There is Power in the Clarity of your Articulation” reminds me daily to choose words consciously.  This empowering statement works at a deep level.  It brings positive focus to thinking and communication at every level.  Most significantly, the teachings of Remember the Ice have affected my artwork by clarifying objectives.  I have clearer ideas how to utilize language to manifest my goals. I can match the energy of my paintings with words.  I now enjoy harnessing the visual, and verbal so they both compliment and work in tandem.  Painting is already is a source of joyful creative expression and increasingly so is writing

Thank you Bob for your continuous inspiration on this exciting creative journey.
