JEANNE TOAL of Port Townsend uses oil sticks, cradled board and metal leaf to explore how sky, earth and sea relate to one another. Growing up by the ocean and in the high desert, she’s been drawn to distant views, and the moment when light changes form into atmosphere.
“In the studio I work on several paintings at once, and my studio walls are always full of paintings that, over time, influence each other,” Jeanne writes.
“Each piece begins with choosing a color, and then each supporting color either moves the work forward or demands a different direction. I revel in the delight of accident, a sense of controlled chaos. The result is a multi-layered surface left unframed, allowing the viewer to complete the experience.”
