MessageCollection: 2017-2018 Mojave National Preserve Residency
MNP Artists Residency. Painted on location and later abstract color studies painted in the studio. All were exhibited in the Desert Light Gallery in the historic Kelso Station Visitor's Center from May - June 2018.
The color studies are depictions of sunset colors (Song and Flow), Prickly Pear Cactus (Smooth), and yellow flowering Chamisa that was bedecked with butterflies (Humm). The continuous lines initiating these paintings are intuitive responses to what I was viewing.
