Darlene Kuhne Arvada, Colorado - United States _____________________________ | ARTIST STATEMENT I am a colorist, abstract expressionist painter, composing my paintings with design and composition in mind. I carve lines and shapes into the texture, then use the play of color and directional lines to give my paintings depth and strength. The viewers eye follows the path of the lines, shapes and colors to take a journey around the painting. SELECTED EXHIBITIONS 2005 Artists of Colorado Exhibition, Denver, Co.
