About the Item
Artist Comments
Botanical elements, bold typography, and abstract shapes surround a feminine figure. Through this collaged artwork, artist Darlene McElroy questions what defines a person and how to describe them. Is it their colorful appearance and spirit? Is it the energy that flows around them? Why do some people immediately attract attention while others remain nondescript?
About the Artist
Artist Darlene McElroy weaves textural surfaces, found objects, and rich symbolism to create a visual tapestry. "Creating a painting is like doing a puzzle; it is a matter of finding the right pieces," says Darlene. Her works delve into the imagery of man's primal origins, sins, and religious conflicts, inviting viewers to uncover multiple stories within each piece. A Southern California native with roots in a long line of New Mexico artists and musicians, Darlene's artistic vision is profoundly shaped by her Hispanic upbringing. With her three dogs by her side, Darlene works in her home studio, filled with natural light pouring in through the windows. Beyond her art, Darlene explores new techniques, writes art books, and hikes with her pets.
