MessageCollection: LAYERED PAPER
The process involves layering paint, collage, paint and more paint, creating layers and layers with colours, shapes and designs that are scraped, sanded, scratched and dug into, repainted, revealing and leaving bits of the past, the history of each layer. A story emerges, your story, my story, that blends this history with the final design, which is rich in texture. The beauty is in the discovery, the rich surface and the hidden bits that can only be seen by getting close and exploring its secrets.
Based in London, Ontario, Miriam Traher creates expressive abstract paintings rooted in movement, atmosphere, texture, memory, and joy. Through layered surfaces, calligraphic marks, and intuitive colour, her work explores the moments, feelings, conversations, and little bits of beauty that make us feel fully alive.
Inspired by weathered surfaces, shifting light, flowers, music, storytelling, and the emotional energy between things, her paintings invite viewers to pause, feel, and discover their own connections within the work.
