Rainmaker #1, #2, #3, #4

During times of drought, the ability to invoke rain is a divine answer to prayer and desire. Rain can be interpreted literally, or symbolically as compensation, sustenance, fruit, and opportunity. One cannot command “rain;” very similarly how one cannot command God or Mother Nature. However, we can connect with and surrender ourselves to the mystery of a Higher Power, living in communion with it. Becoming one with the source of all creation.

I wanted to give these works an empowering title, that inspires the viewer to channel an assertive and positive meaning from the work into their own lives. When I first think of a Rainmaker, I think of the Native American ritual: the rain dance, a sacred dance I view as a prayer and giving thanks. In business, a Rainmaker is a top earner, someone who is able to produce desired results, money and opportunity. In modern culture, the term, “making it rain,” refers to making money fall from the sky. Rain, and the ability to make it rain, is about connecting to, becoming one with abundance.”

The Harrison Collection: Mosaic Animals

The Harrison Collection: Mosaic Animals

The Harrison Collection is an ongoing art collection that encompasses different art series, all inspired by AVM’s son, Harrison and motherhood. As AVM grows and evolves, so will these original works of art. Each installment will encompass artwork reflective of AVM’s journey as a mother and an artist. These installments of artwork will take place for the duration of AVM’s lifetime, reflecting upon her personal growth and inspiration as an artist and also as her most important role to date: a mother.

Mosaic Animals are the first set of works created for The Harrison Collection. Mosaic Animals consist of a variety of animals common among toddlers. These works incorporate AVM’s signature mosaic style. Working with paper and watercolor markers, opposed to several canvases, water and full coffee cans of acrylic paint, was an easy way for AVM to get back into the swing of creating again, even if for a few hours a week.

 A Starry Night in Houston

A Starry Night in Houston is a painting that is inspired by Houston’s contribution and affiliation with space and technology. Houston is affectionately called “Space City.”  A Starry Night in Houston combines Houston’s Space City symbolism with AVM’s iconic color-filled designs. In A Starry Night in Houston, AVM maintains her signature style but takes it a step further by adding images of the NASA logo, space photography of the moon and atmosphere, rocket and space station into the work. These images are intertwined within and throughout the entire painting; the images and abstractions unified yet, identifiable only by the contrast of colors.

ENTER is designed to provide the viewer the experience of total immersion into abstract art. The series embodies work from large to small scale abstract paintings, designed to attract the viewer, slowly surround, until the viewer is completely submerged inside the work. Get lost inside the art, and find your Self.

 
 

IMPETUS

IMPETUS reflects on the “why” behind AVM Hawkins’ intangible desire + chronic impulse to create. IMPETUS includes all of AVM’s various styles of abstract expressionism developed from her lifetime of creating art.

IMPETUS embodies a collection of AVM’s various art styles, inspired by her free-hand designs and love for color, as well as AVM’s contemporary abstract expressionistic paintings containing bold movements, gestures, texture and mixed media.  IMPETUS showcases AVM’s talent for creating grand, contemporary paintings, perfect for designing any residential or commercial space.
