tricia french
a place of respite. an absorbing mood. art is a union and center-point for the beauty available to us. a guiding light, north star; holding, guiding and reconnecting to the deeper recesses of experience. offering an unmatched ability to lead the viewer to the abstract world of emotion.
this is the fundamental drive of artist Tricia French. currently based in the Pacific Northwest where there is no shortage of emotive skies, contrasted light and evocative landscapes.
painting on a large scale she seeks to offer an encounter that feels encompassing. for over a decade she has held a painting practice holding conversations on canvas engaging the senses; exhalation, silence, duality, stillness. always with reverence to the natural world with its soothing, sheltering properties.
