Created with high-pressure air, this painting captures the essence of minimalism. Sometimes, like a lightning strike, perfection is achieved in mere breaths. This rare piece in the artist’s oeuvre exemplifies that special moment in an artist’s career where minimalism reveals its power, where less is so much more. It’s the culmination of 20 years of maximalist, detailed, realistic painting, finally knowing when to let simplicity speak volumes with just a few forms. The colors—sky blue, gold, and rust—echo the artist’s backyard–a canyon of red sandstone. Outside the studio she finds a landscape older than dinosaurs. Inside the studio she makes a painting younger than a raven that soars.
