Theresa Girard - Works on View

Theresa GirardIn Her Own Words
My new work explores a difference in mood. When approaching the canvas, I am unsure if the process will be heavily marked, textured, or quiet. I am not looking to reveal or conceal, to clarify or dissolve, I am searching for a presence of paint and a conflict in color, bold or perhaps subdued. It takes time to search and allow the painting to dominate the interaction. Quiet frustration seeks a need to describe a moment, a feeling… About Theresa A native of Providence RI and involved in the arts from an early age, Theresa crafted her own education studying early 20th Century contemporary artists.
