Vicki Stavrou understands the communicative power of colour – it functions as a visual language for her.  “I am always immersed in thinking about colour.  My main goal in painting is to find combinations that really sing,” Stavrou says.  In speaking about the exhibition’s title, Golden Daze, she relates that many of her paintings exude an affirmative, golden hue. She says, “sometimes I do feel ‘heady’ being so absorbed in the intensity of my colour choices”.  Incidentally, the brand of the paint medium Stavrou always uses is called Golden Acrylics.
