ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
Crimson and Alizarin Right and Left are part of a painting series about being human living with a disability and how your scars, your pain, if you use a wheelchair, are all a part of you but do not define you completely. Through this life experience there is beauty to be found.
STATEMENT:
Born into an eclectic family of free spirits & blue-collar workers, Abigail discovered the creative outlet of art at an early age. It was through her art that she learned how to express herself & her views of the world in a way that words never could. This would become an important coping mechanism for her later in life, as she suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident during the early college years. Despite the challenges thrown at her, she and her sister became the first ones in her family to graduate from college.
Through the years, she has learned to embrace the many mediums art provides, with digital art & watercolors being her current focus during these challenging times.

DESCRIPTIONS:
Crimson and Alizarin Left
A pale skinned naked woman sits with her back to us. Her head is in profile, facing right. She has short dark hair. Both her arms are extended to the right and the curve of her breast is visible. Gold bones make up her crooked spine. A thin line marks her waist. Her bare feet are on the foot rest. She is surrounded by a background of shades of red, with darker red below and above her and lighter shades to her sides.
Crimson and Alizarin Right
A naked figure with rosy skin and short curly hair sits with her back to us in a stylized wheelchair. Her bent elbows extend to both sides. Her straight center back is outlined with dark spine bones. The figure’s feet are on the foot rest and the chair’s wheels slant at the sides. In the background are dark red, curved masses that frame her head and arms. In the upper right are horizontal patches of white and below her elbows are shades of orange.
