WHAT
The American artist’s (b.1940) practice is deeply-rooted in the vast, untamed landscapes of the American West, reflecting the serenity and severity of the high desert in inland California, where she has lived for decades. Featuring a series created over the past year, she invites viewers to explore the often-overlooked corners of our world, urging us to embrace contradictions and uncover the quiet magic beneath the surface of time through her distinctive visual language.

WHY
The artist’s folk-inspired style balances simplicity with evocative complexity, drawing influence from medieval art and early American folk traditions. Her self-taught approach explores existential themes related to death, nature, and rural life, using a seemingly naive yet profound language. Her works, even those with dark subjects, carry a vitality that offers a unique perspective on creation and destruction, making this exhibition a thought-provoking experience for all who engage with it.
