Artist Statement

I explore the outer and inner landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. My studio practice embraces mindfulness and deep immersion in the natural energy & landscape of the Pacific Northwest. I create a bridge through my subconscious mind, that flows out my hands through the paint and onto the surface. I let go of myself in the moment and embrace the frontier of the present as I intuitive explore trans formative and expansive ideas with paint, and nurture new ideas into being, beyond me.

My pallet responds to the seasons and also is rooted in my lifelong interest and background in NW and Japanese Pottery Glazes reflecting the pallet of the Pacific Northwest. Earthy with Cobalt Blues, Indigo Blue, Chrome Oxide Greens, Turquoise Blue, Celadon Green, and Zinc White.

I think painting can be very much like going on a solo hiking adventure, to a place I've never been. -Andie DeRoux
