CHRISTIE HIGGINS
 

The basis of much of my work are pictorial journeys.  These allegorical bodies of painting revolve around gardenscapes.  Images initially come from external ideas on garden variations.  The views are from the eyes of the gypsy ferry who shares them with her parrot and garden mistress.  These window worlds are oftentimes spatially flattened.  Thereby, allowing interesting painterly problems dealing in pattern, values and color intensity.  In painting, I try to be as subjective with color as nature can be at times.  By this I mean that bright reds, yellows, blues, and purples could at any one time all be seen on a single bird or plant or randomly placed side by side with no control for their patterns or contrast.
