ABOUT HAZEL STONE
Hazel Stone paints in a style that is unique, innovative and complex. Her subject matter may begin with realistic images, but may also include imaginary, whimsical or abstract forms. By combining multiple images, subjects and symbols, then revealing them on many levels or from different viewpoints, unexpected results are obtained. Stone likes to explore the unusual, unexpected and mystifying aspects of life which when painted produce exciting works of art.
"I have developed my own style of painting which I call Experimental Abstraction. I paint whatever intrigues and captivates my eye and motivates my innovative mind. Gradually, I realized that ART had become my ‘Life's Passion’ that would forever guide my life. This amazing journey has led to a very satisfying and happy life as a busy and successful professional water media artist.”
