Artist Statement

Ellen Woods, self portrait


Falling between categories, my paintings and prints lie somewhere between the inner world of the imagination and the outer world of beauty and nature. Inspired by the Colorado landscape and a daily interaction with wildlife, I search for patterns and clues in my environment. Themes may evolve from shapes on a mountain hillside, the wings of a red tailed hawk, or a cluster of dead leaves. Then I become an experimenter in the studio, trying new combinations of color, form, texture and composition. Opposites often appear together, realism with abstraction or a sense of serious playfulness.
