Alicia Thompson – Mid Day Reverie

Description

Artist Statement

The Colorado landscape has inspired me my entire life. Growing up in the foot-hills, I’ve spent many hours observing, drawing, photographing, and painting various facets of our state’s beauty. I continually attempt to recreate, emphasize, or reinvent the unique lighting and textures in the subject matter I view. My love and
admiration of the outdoors runs deep, and I am consistently inspired and awed by natural elements.The beauty of my chosen subject matter symbolizes a great deal to me- the passing of time, both stability and change, as well as the capacity to love and forgive in the midst of chaos, but above all- hope. There is a healing,centering, and grounding quality that spending time outdoors gives me and I strive to relay that in my work, as well as the importance of conserving these natural gifts we are so fortunate to still possess.
