Artist Statement

Tomeekha L. Pitre lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

I consider myself a self taught abstract artist with focus on color and texture. I am constantly learning and continuously finding myself fascinated over the many different textures and colors that can be created with paint.

Being an army brat gave me the opportunity to travel the world and experience different cultures and sub-cultures, yes, "sub-cultures". One of the most beautiful joys of my travels as a child was discovering my spirituality and developing a close bond/relationship with GOD and the GODDESS within me.

Seeing the world, and everything included in its space, as one big ball of color helps me recognize just how expressive Color is. It expresses our joys, our pains, our sorrows, our anger, our love, our seasons, our reasons, our thoughts, our confusion, our courage, our weakness, our desires, and our soul.

What inspires me?

The sound of music is the most powerful inspiration for me. I simply love SOUND. I tell people that when a good song is playing I want to dance, then I want to pick up a paint brush, dip it in paint, and before you know it the paint brush and I are dancing together with the canvas as our dance floor; and together we make beautiful colors to the sound of music.

I've been blessed to meet some really talented artists on myspace.com; and keeping it real... they have been very inspiring and motivating to me as an artist. My friends on myspace have taught me and helped me realize that creation is bigger than me. Life is bigger than me. It is not about me at all. It is about touching someone in a way that inspires, motivates, and cultivates cration.

We (all of us) must learn to let our light shine on the world. For we are all stars shining brightly in the sky for all to see.

Art is Love, Love is Art, and we are his ART/his Creation... perfectly molded and crafted.

Much Love, Peace, and JOY!!!!
