Lucy Borg

I grew up in New York City and earned a BA in Art Education at Queens College CUNY. In my free time, I spent many years painting abstractly with watercolor and gouache.  I was, and still am, inspired by the colors in nature’s beautiful landscapes, seascapes, sunrises and sunsets.  The spectacular continuous changing colors, light, shadow and movement has always stimulated my imagination and creativity.   After a long hiatus from painting, I was introduced to pastels, and began painting landscapes, finding inspiration during my travels.  I love playing with the juxtaposition, blending, value, intensity, temperature and hue of colors.  Recently, my curiosity was sparked to begin abstract painting once again.  I began working with oil paint and experimenting with this medium.  When I paint, I am constantly having a conversation the painting. I don’t hear or see anything around me. I am in a zone.  What I paint is what I feel.  My painting is a learning process.  I love when people look at my paintings and they find interesting images that I never expected.
