8/10/2015 0 Comments Senior ShowLast April I had to opportunity to put on a small gallery show as a part of my requirements as a senior art student. I have included images of all nine paintings, how they were arranged, and my artist statement. I hope you enjoy! :) ARTIST STATEMENT
The beauty of the natural world has always amazed me. I am particularly fascinated with the detail mother nature squeezes into every inch of the outdoors and I chose to expand upon this in my paintings. This collection contains paintings of various up-close organic images that explore textures, shapes, and colors using abstraction, limited color palette, large brush strokes, and thick paint. The origins of these images are intentionally difficult to decipher so the viewer must rely on his/her imagination. The subjects I choose to paint are not always seen as beautiful because I want the viewer to explore overlooked and under-appreciated parts of nature with a new lens. To find these gems I had to dig around, look up, look down, change my perspective, and interact with my environment ✿
