Ivy Dionne

Ivy Dionne is a Port Orchard, Washington abstract expressionist painter who creates ethereal works through intuitive painting, allowing the paint to decide its own direction. Sometimes painting with blaring loud music, other times in complete silence, her work vacillates between energetic and meditative. In the past, her mixed-media art has ranged from acrylic and resin to working with alcohol inks, an unusual and challenging medium she still favors today. Now, whether creating abstract forms with abstract flow, or painting figurative images with intention using liquid inks and pens, her current body of work is dream-like, lyrical, and colorful, utilizing the inherent movement of the ink to produce beautiful works where the component of fluidity creates simple yet astounding beauty. Her most recent works have advanced to mixed media, combining brushed acrylic paints with inks, papers, charcoal, and pastels.
