Sheri Paisley's work explores the connection between internal and external landscapes, with a focus on breath, spirit, and wind. Through abstract and loosely rendered scenes, she examines the dynamic tension between form and formlessness, as well as the invisible forces that shape our experiences. For Paisley, painting is a way to engage more deeply with the world, using color, mark-making, and gesture to process life's complexities and connect with the flow of energy in nature.

My maternal grandmother was Russian Mennonite, when she and my grandfather fled the war they bought a very small house with two acres for $75 outside of Vancouver BC. She loved to grow dahlias all around the house, something my mother continued to do. I think of them both a lot when I paint and want to make a painting of their love for these flowers.
