Join us for the Opening Reception on February 23rd from 5-7pm!
Audra's abstracted, organic paintings reference those places where rivers or streams may be traversed as well as to mental states of pause or reflection. Using acrylic paint and metallic pigments, the surfaces are both dreamy and shimmery. In describing her artwork Audra writes, "Light reflected and abstracted in nature - from bodies of water to mystical forests - has always been an inspiration for me. Fixating on something so essentially ephemeral reminds us that all we truly have is the present moment. And that any moment - like a work of art - can feel powerfully charged or meditatively calm depending on your state of mind."
"My paintings are also inspired by expanding or unfolding horizons. This is represented by swaths or undulating lines of white that interrupt fields of multilayered colors. While the effect is often ethereal the process is quite physically intense. Once the colors have been determined and applied, I create or find the composition with a sander that gives the work an almost sculptural depth.
Ultimately, I hope my work provokes a sense of potential; that there is always something to be revealed in the present light." - Audra Weaser
