Hazel Stone paints in a style that is unique, innovative and complex. Her subject matter may begin with realistic images, but may also include imaginary, whimsical or abstract forms. By combining multiple images, subjects and symbols, then paints revealing them on many levels or from different viewpoints, unexpected results are obtained. The artist likes to explore the unusual, unexpected and mystifying aspects of life, often with exciting results. She works primarily in watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, collage and ink. Her love of color clariclassty and excitement is always present. With images that originate from a wide range of personal experiences, she presents a challenge to the viewers to bring their own personal experiences into play and connect with the painting.
