Artist Statement

These contemplative abstract paintings are inspired by my lifelong observations of nature in the Pacific Northwest. The imagery slowly reveals itself, just as nature reveals itself when you slow down, and intimately observe in the present moment..

I clear my mind, and then pick out some colors to explore with. Then, I just let my mind wander as I intuitively create marks with the paint, creating in a language uniquely my own.

A structure, rhythmic textures emerge . As the painting develops, I continue building up layers of paint and translucent epoxy resin mixed with glass and clay to create depth and dimension. A recording of my thought process, as my mind dances with the paint, and wanders in a garden of light.

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