Inspired by my time in the Rocky Mountains, I worked to evoke the mountains' strength and grandeur. I created this painting utilizing optical mixing -layer, upon layer of translucent paint washes that I both built up and removed to reveal layers underneath. Yum!

• Medium: enamel, acrylic, and graphite on canvas

Here is Independence Pass. She stands proudly at 48 x 60 inches. She was inspired by my favorite hike across the Continental Divide to Aspen in Colorado. The beauty and majesty of ancient stone thrust thousands of feet into the sky is epic. I felt so powerful and yet so insignificant from the top. The journey up was intense and filled with adventures along the way. In this piece, I evoke the mountains' strength and grandeur, alone with no trace of humanity. During Covid lockdown, I searched for strength, and I have concluded that movement and nature are my powerhouses. This work balances the two nicely for me.

I created this painting layer, upon layer, upon layer of thin, translucent enamel and acrylic paint washes. I love working this way because my favorite paintings at the MFA in Boston were the Impressionists. I loved their extraordinary bravery and use of color and brushstroke. I played a game and stood as close as the guards would let a little girl stand to a famous work of art to see the color variations within the brushstrokes. I loved to imagine when they were placed down in response to the other marks already made and in anticipation of the ones to come. This is how I like to work as a painter: balancing the ebb and flow of my marks, building and defining my vision. I love being totally present, brave, and listening and looking. "What if" and "why not" guide each of my paintings. I start with a sketch in graphite, then lay in the larger shapes, then let go and jump in! I like to incorporate the edges of the canvas into my art; this expands the work, giving the viewer a different perspective from each side. I have signed this painting on the front and the back contains the title, materials I used, my name, signature again, the year, and the dimensions. This painting is part of my Altitude Series: large mountain vistas.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
All of my original art comes with its Certificate of Authenticity for your records.

SHIPPING
Due to this painting's size, I offer three ways for you to receive your original art.
1. CRATE
It can be shipped in a wooden crate as it is. Additional shipping costs are associated with this option because of the size and weight of the packaging.
2. ROLLED IN A TUBE
It can be removed from the stretcher bars and rolled in a tube. This option is less expensive and will require a professional framer to restretch your painting for you.
3. LOCAL PICK-UP
I am happy to have you visit my studio to collect your new art.

Meet the Creator
Wescover creator since 2019
I am driven to create work that beckons me into the sublime, that place where emotion holds dominance over vocabulary, by distilling nature into abstract form.

As a contemporary artist, I am inspired by the balance between precision and freedom. My work is influenced by my extensive travels, love of nature, and living along the coast of Rhode Island. 

My paintings, installations, sculptures, and large-scale photographic works are characterized by organic forms and the use of nontraditional materials.

My most recent paintings, "Metamorphosis and Stasis Collections," are poetic. In sophisticated color palettes, their graceful sculptural and curvilinear forms seem to float in the atmosphere.
