Sunset in Bridgehampton

Artist's Note: The sky never fails to captivate me. I’m constantly drawn to the way clouds move, how the sun interacts with the landscape, and the fleeting nature of it all. Even a brief glance at the sunset—whether through a window or on an evening walk—grounds and steadies me. On this particular summer evening in Bridgehampton, the sky was awash in purples, blues, and yellows, with clouds that felt like melting cotton candy—soft, transparent, and ever-changing. This painting captures that quiet moment of transition as day slipped into night. - Marisa

Artist Statement: My work is like a continuous diary entry into the quiet, but often hidden spaces of one's memory, where the abstract blends with the familiar to create moments that feel distant yet recognizable. Each of my works layer textures, colors, and forms that evoke a sense of brushing against something just out of reach — like a fragment of a dream, or a brief recollection softened by the passage of time. I’m drawn to the beauty of these subtle, mostly forgotten memories, capturing the way they linger, fade, and forever live on in the subconscious.

I invite viewers into this reflective space, allowing them to sit in the warmth and comfort of their long-forgotten memories. In these moments, I hope viewers feel a gentle pull toward thoughts they may not fully recognize but instinctively feel, as if reconnecting with a hidden part of themselves. Each piece is less about finding clear answers, and more about inviting exploration—reminding them of the soft glow of something familiar, profoundly alive, and intensely personal.
