Audrey Phillips
Artist Statement:
Florida’s wildly exotic landscape is my home and my inspiration. This mysterious piece of earth provides a gateway into rich sensations, thoughts and emotions. The experience commands presence, a calling to quiet the chatter, expand into silence and observe sensations.
This sensory language has deep memory and a quiet power to it and although there are no words, there is something spoken between us. I become profoundly aware of its intelligence, recognizing it as a sacred space to both heal and inform my art. This pure, vibrant energy is the place from which I paint — eventually holding space for the viewer to enter and bring their story to the experience.
