Sunny Altman is a Contemporary American mixed-media artist from Huntington Beach, California. She draws inspiration from nature, travel, and human experiences that can’t be seen; her work is a visual expression of those moments. Sunny paints intuitively through her use of color, layers of pigment, and marks; Sunny describes her paintings as a “visual pep talk,” inviting the viewer to be inspired to contemplate the derivative of beauty. The artist's work has been displayed in numerous group exhibitions both in the United States and overseas. Her artwork has been featured in various publications such as CAP Magazine, Artist Close Up Magazine, SubOArt Magazine, and the first edition of AQ. Additionally, you can locate her in the Visionary Art Collective Directory.
The inspiring beauty of the natural world informs my work. I am interested in visually expressing the feeling and energy of a time and place and the spiritual connection between the natural world and the human experience. Using a variation of watercolor, ink, pencil, gold leaf, gouache, and acrylic paint, I start my paintings by moving my hand in spontaneous gestures; intuitively, I begin to build layers of fluid pigment, and marks, experimenting with texture, rhythm, and pattern, I am especially interested in using color to evoke feeling. As the layers of pigment and marks build, I become more intentional as I focus on the overall composition. My work is influenced by the pioneering women artists who have produced groundbreaking, prolific bodies of work: Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keefe, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, and Hilma AF Klint, and the visionary art collector Peggy Guggenheim.
