Portrait of an Artist:
SALLY RAYN
Dynamic Symbolism
“Colors, color harmonies, shapes of nature, and stream of consciousness are what inspire me.”
It is this inspiration that Sally Rayn brings to dynamic symbolism, a new abstract art form that invites you as the viewer to interact both intuitively and intellectually with her images. Dynamic symbolism is not like other art forms, which encourage you to interpret the artist’s intent. Dynamic symbolism invites you to find and interpret the meaning of unique forms in the artist’s work. In this new form of art, beauty changes over time since it truly is in the eye of the beholder.Read more
