Easter Island

Inspired by a trip to South America, artist Sheryl Westergreen reinterprets her memories of each locale through color and geometric form. These sunny, expressive abstracts become instant focal points in neutral spaces; in boldly colored rooms, they work as catalysts, adding even more dynamism to the mix. One in a series of two.

• Sheryl Westergreen’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. She is a native of the Pacific Northwest, and currently lives in Washington. Sheryl received a B.F.A. in painting from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. “My work explores geometric form as it applies to architecture, landscape and the human figure. I translate a memory of a place or an experience through the process of abstraction. By observation, contemplation, and repeated layering of paint, the canvas begins to reveal its particular shapes, lines and textures. The paintings are an exploration of color and geometric form as well as an attempt to suggest a feeling or nuance that is not cut off from the psyche and alludes to hidden affinities and elusive qualities."
