Your Favorite Abstract Expressionist
My name is LaPrea Rich (aka Blaque Swan) and I'm an Abstract Expressionist from the DC metropolitan area. I began painting six years ago and became a professional artist in 2023. I am a member of the Gallery Underground, the Arts Center of Montross, Arlington Artists Alliance, Washington Area Lawyers of the Arts and the Women’s Caucus for the Arts-DC chapter. Since embarking on my professional art career, 17 months ago, I have participated in over 20 art show/festivals, had my artwork featured in the online newspaper, ARLnow, became a finalist in the regional Hilton Hotel Abstract competition, was selected to participate in my first juried art show, Flora Exhibition, and I just completed my first Solo Show Exhibition debut: Oh, You Paint: Soul (July 2024).
My specialty consists of creating acrylic abstract paintings using palette knife techniques. My artwork explores the relationship between color, texture, and form. I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world, as well as the emotions and experiences that shape our lives. Ultimately, my goal as an Abstract Expressionist is to create artwork that is both visually stunning and emotionally stimulating. I believe that art has the power to inspire, enrich and transform our lives. I believe that my art has the power to connect us all to something greater than ourselves and am honored that I am able contribute my gift with humanity.
