Stephanie Visser’s abstract mixed-media works on canvas and panel demonstrate the artist-in-the-trenches physicality. The paintings from this series contain rich surfaces, constructs of scumbled color, collages of repurposed materials including paper, newsprint and metal scratched with line and markings. Reminiscent of landscape and city vistas, there is a quality that invokes the concept of “lay lines”, invisible roads and patterns that track the undercurrents of energy and magnetic fields beneath the ground, a central nervous system in the body of the earth. |
A native of southern Michigan, Stephanie Visser relocated to southern California is 2003. She took her degree in Fine Art from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids Michigan and continued her education at Western Michigan University in the graduate department and at Pasadena College of Art and Design. Stephanie’s painting originally began with traditional representational work and has evolved to abstract over the intervening years. Her work has primarily been influenced by an interest in architecture, the human form, and the environment through light, color, and emotional context. She has been a member of the TAG collaborative since 2008. |
