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.

We had hurricane force winds through the area where I live while I was making this show. I live in a grove of very large old trees and there is always concern of one falling on the house or my studio. I liked the relationship of a hurricane and roses together and I think I wanted to focus on creating something positive and love filled inside a time when I was actually pretty scared.
