the artist’s statement

“My paintings are poetic conversations about the tension in opposition, and the resolution in balance. Evolving through color, texture, shape and emotion, the paintings evoke metaphor and memory resonating
with the soul.”

about the artist

The work of Marianne Mitchell captures the essence of visual and emotional experiences and creates a sense of place familiar to the viewer in its abstract espression. This vision is realized through the balance of architectural and organic forms, light and dark values, transparent and opaque color, and active and passive surfaces. Each piece reaches a different resolution of balance while revealing the poetic essence around us and within us.
