About the Item

Artist Comments
Warm clouds of muted cream and brown drift across the upper portion of a dark and moody background. A deep, black section at the bottom creates a strong horizontal divide. A radiant copper square centers in the darkness, its subtle texture suggesting an interplay between simplicity and complexity.


About the Artist
Abstract painter Leslie Ann Butler has been passionate about making art since she was a child. “In grade school I did a portrait of Robert Frost and sent it to him, and received a nice letter of thanks,” Leslie Ann recalls. Though she still enjoys creating figurative work, Leslie Ann is also intrigued by abstraction. She describes creating abstract work as entering an altered state of consciousness. Often the compositions will come to her during meditation, and she does her best to reproduce the vision in the studio. Leslie Ann works from the top floor of her Portland home, where she gets lots of natural light and a view of the city.

Fragrance of Memory, Abstract Painting
By Sheila Grabarsky
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Sheila Grabarsky demonstrates an abstraction of interlacing colors with hints of green, blue, and white peeping from the predominantly maroon, black, and mustard yellow background. A whimsical portrayal of ever-changing moods. Sheila incorporates dried acrylic skins within the multilayered composition, creating textures, depth, and history. The expressive gestural strokes depict a sense of sinuous motion.
