Ingrid King paintings are described as bold, assured, strong, monumental and expansive. She starts with a basic drawing or image and allows the drawing to tell her how to build color and composition on top of it. She spends time listening to her painting as she as is composing. She is trying to create relationships with abstract configurations. Her paintings have a feeling of movement, and often start with gestural studies of the human figure. The paintings are abstractions of real life drawings. Her main quest is to provide structure with line, then add color. Ingrid Fiksdahl King is a professor of architecture from Norway. She originally studied architecture at the University of California at Berkeley. In later years she has attended numerous courses and workshops at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. She has also worked with painters such as Mary Snowdon and Franklin Williams.
