Aleta Pippin’s love of color is obvious when you view her paintings. Here she shares her feelings about color.
This is my first video for the year created by Kyle Maier, Kamio Media. We spent several days conversing about various aspects of painting as it relates to my life journey. He condensed numerous hours of conversation down to a few minutes. What a talent! I also want to acknowledge Gregory Webb who wrote the soundtrack.
Enjoy the video.
Last October, I made an important decision to change my life drastically. I decided to close Pippin Contemporary and have more time to focus on my artwork and pursue other opportunities.
I admit it – I’ve been a control freak many years of my life. I wanted so much for everything to run smoothly, for my children to do as I requested, for my husband’s business to do well (aside, he was in the oil and gas exploration business drilling wells for limited partnerships in the late 70s early 80s – disaster) and that the business I started in Houston would be successful (opened in 1984, sold in 2008). Being tightly wound, I achieved a lot, but I was taking steps that didn’t necessarily give me joy.
