STACY CALDWELL
​
SOLO EXHIBITION
My paintings are a quiet response to the landscapes of my surroundings. They are an attempt to give honor to the mysterious beauty that reveals itself unexpectedly in familiar places.
Time alone in Nature has been crucial to my experience of painting and drawing. For many years while working full-time in an office, I stole moments to go outside to paint or draw. It was simply a way to be outdoors as much as possible. Painting became a vehicle for having a conversation with Nature and responding directly to what she reveals when one gets quiet and gives attention. Attention is, after all, love.
In 2021 I began working daily in sketchbooks with gouache and charcoal in order to move beyond direct response to my surroundings and to explore what can arise out of memory, imagination, design, and invention.
Since adding sketchbook work to my daily routine, I have been surprised to discover a new way of seeing the world and have become more aware of a new kind of beauty and mystery. This has been a true gift.
I’ve recently begun attempting to approach the oil paintings in the same way as I approach the sketchbook work, which is to begin with an event, experience or image that lives in the mind and allow the painting to evolve from there.
