Marilyn Allen - Premium Artist |
For many of us, vision is our most complex sensory experience and we edit out most of what we see. Working as a visual artist, I am free to explore what I see more deeply through drawing, light, color and the push of paint on a surface. |

Over time my paintings have become less involved with realistic details of particular objects and places, and more rooted in memory and imagination as mountains, water, people and trees find their way into my work. I use oil paint on canvas or wood panels to create both real and imaginary shapes in planes of color and light. Sometimes these elements become part of an exploration and remain with me in one form or another throughout the painting process.
A photo in a magazine shows plastic bottles on a sagging metal table in the hot sun of Kenya. The beautiful blue of the bottles transforms the water from polluted to pure. This water, like the streams and rivers of Vermont where I live, is essential to life as it recedes into dry places or jumps carelessly over rocks. It is clear, invisible and not invisible, a perfect beginning for a painting.
