(Published October 2012) “When all of the necessary elements come together, spontaneous combustion occurs,” suggests abstract painter, Aleta Pippin. Her paintings are created through the energy and love of the process, through the music emanating from her iPod, from the amazing color that is instinctual – all coming together in a spontaneous combustion that is a work of art.

Pippin’s show (early October) was a fun and successful event. Several of her paintings were sold. View highlights.

The Santa Fean Magazine’s preview states – “Pippin’s paintings are, in a word, spontaneous. Wild brush strokes, impasto, and dripped paint express a sense of freedom, rhythm, and surprise.” Pippin goes on to say – “My paintings are about spirituality and purposeful emotional intensity.”
