“My art is a journey about the joy of color. Colors I choose intuitively, I believe, can have a healing effect on me and the viewer. I feel a passion about my artwork. There is excitement and energy from colors and texture that inspire and stimulate the mind, body and spirit connection.
My belief is Art is the Journey in life.”
Biography
Artistic inspiration from global cultures has been a lifetime journey
for Bernice Harmyk. As a world traveler, Bernice has been able to evolve
artistically by immersing herself in the rich textures of foreign cultures.
Her early medium was oil on canvas, using impressionistic techniques.
She also studied Chinese brush techniques that gave depth and intensity
to her abstract style. Bernice begins a painting intuitively, working
with inks, watercolors, acrylics and a wide variety of materials. She
layers colors and textures on the surface of the painting and then creates
markings in to the work. For Bernice, art and travel have been a source
of inspiration for the journey of joy and discovery in her life. Her paintings
are in private collections in Washington DC, Virginia, New York and Connecticut.
