“The evolution of my artwork comes from a fascination of the outdoors, whether it’s walking down a wooded path, a city street or sitting long a river. From there I take my attraction to abstract shapes of colors- lights and darks and execute my palette knife visual studies rather quickly, trying to capture the moment by mimicking the scene and transpiring the sensual qualities of sound and temperature. After bringing these paintings inside to the studio, another painting, generally a more abstract, larger painting is born more loose and freeing.” – Trish Hurley
