Bernadette Youngquist
Fort Collins, Colorado
Bernadette Youngquist is a contemporary abstract painter based in Colorado.
MessageBernadette expresses a language of spaciousness with soft geometric shapes, as well as organic ones, expressive improvisational lines, and bold compositions.
She chose a path of self-study which included many studio hours. Being part of a larger community of artists has contributed greatly to her education.
As a sensitive child she often observed subtleties and nuances. As an adult she gained deeper insight into her sensitivity and found that painting was a place where this was an advantage. She uses her acute awareness in the subtle choices she makes in her artwork. Her paintings are where her authentic self can emerge and she becomes one with the process.
Bernadette’s work has been shown in local, national, and international exhibits. She continues to discover her path as an artist and bravely cast her net in many directions with the belief that her artwork will find its way to it's forever home.
Statement
Every painting is a mediation that brings spacial relationships, color, and form into a single unified object that speaks a message of universal truth. I prefer to paint the immaterial experiences of life with the goal of imparting emotional impact.
