Ophelia Staton

Ophelia Staton, a mixed media artist living in Creedmoor, NC.  Currently she focuses mainly on abstract acrylic painting.

Ophelia Staton, in her own words.
This freedom of creating is like no other I have ever experienced, and my gift is to inspire others.

I paint to express myself.  Each mark, scribble or stroke of my brush is a conversation between me, my materials and the substrate.  I show up and begin working with no preconceived notions or ideas of the end result.  I see the process of painting as a journey and I am intrigued by the unknown of where each mark or brush stroke will take me.

I absolutely love working in layers.  I invite the viewer to come closer and notice that there is more beneath the surface. My goal is to create a work of art that will engage the viewer and foster a dialogue, and that the viewer will be inspired to find his or her own connection with my work.
