About the Item

"Behind my canvases, collages, and drawings lies a singular proposition: places are not inert; they are repositories for all that passes through them. My work is an inquiry into the experiences and sensations manifestly lodged within our surroundings—not as formal histories but as personal, ever-changing narratives. I deliberately return again and again to familiar settings—wooded areas, home interiors, open highways, back country roads—to show that repeated visits to the same place invariably result in wildly divergent depictions. The practice of drawing is an essential part of my work. One wall of my studio is dedicated to my drawings; it becomes a storyboard for the project at hand. I’m interested in the point where imagery breaks down into abstraction, but not completely—I always want to catch it before the sensation of place dissolves into pure mark making." Brooklyn-based painter Allison Gildersleeve spent her youth in rural Connecticut. She earned a BA from the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1992, and an MFA in 2006 from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. Valley House has represented Allison Gildersleeve since 2014. Watch an interview with Allison Gildersleeve and Cheryl Vogel on the Valley House Gallery YouTube channel.

In the Woods
Located in Burlingame, CA
Artist Jill Keller Peters is a colorist whose abstract color-field oil paintings communicate ideas through color. By juxtaposing pure and vivid hues that speak to each other when combined, Keller Peters choreographs rhythm and space through a poetic visual language. Her geometric abstract work is informed by keen observations of nature and years of realist landscape painting and photography. Utilizing a full-spectrum radiance of light, which is both, practical and inspirational, her traditional oil on canvas paintings delight the senses while celebrating light as the source of all energy and sustenance for life, itself. Here is 'In the Woods...
