I wanted to explore the numerous layers and organic shapes which make up such a beautifully intricate flower. Specifically, I wanted to flower how expressive mark making could translate into light and transparency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy work explores the quiet, visceral connection between humans and the natural world. Through oil painting and charcoal, I am drawn to animals, figures, and botanical forms as vessels for emotion, vulnerability, and instinct. I approach these subjects with a balance of observation and intuition, allowing gesture, texture, and expressive mark-making to guide the work. My paintings seek to capture something beyond the physical; a fleeting sense of presence, a shared tenderness, or the mysterious familiarity of the living world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"November AMS Exhibition 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67788951912750,"sku":null,"price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Gough_Amanda_ThePeonyatCliftonInn_Oil_3800_1.jpg?v=1792618151","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/gough-amanda-title-the-peony-at-clifton-inn","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
