About the Item

Based in Alabama, Stephanie Kirkland creates moody, expressive acrylic paintings that reflect her journey away from perfectionism and toward creative freedom. In the Dark, There Is Light is a luminous 36 x 36 inch abstract work that explores the emotional interplay between shadow and illumination. Sweeping strokes of teal, violet, forest green, and coral seem to rise through layers of mist and memory, evoking transformation, clarity, and the quiet power of resilience. Kirkland’s art is deeply personal—rooted in her own experience of finding liberation through painting and hiking in nature. Her work is intuitive and fearless, built on the belief that making bold marks, even imperfect ones, is more powerful than holding back. Like the trees and wildflowers she admires, her paintings are unapologetically expressive and grounded in a sense of presence. In the Dark, There Is Light captures that essence: of light filtering through forest canopies, of breath returning, of remembering who you are. For collectors drawn to color-forward abstraction, emotional depth, and art that inspires self-trust, this piece is a striking and soulful addition. Gallery-wrapped and ready to hang.

Shadow Dreams
By Marthann Masterson
Located in New Orleans, LA
Marthann Masterson’s abstract paintings are expressions of the energizing force of joy. Masterson has developed an artistic practice where lines of colorful acrylic paint are poured from the top of each canvas one inch apart, combined with mixed media, leaving her signature drip marks at the bottom. In her most recent body of work, Masterson’s application of bold vibrant colors has become more deliberate, exploring a new range of colors without inhibition. Masterson received formal instruction in painting at the Glassell School of Arts, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The artist has exhibited her work throughout New York, Florida and Texas, where she had a solo exhibition with Octavia Art Gallery...
