Piece description from the artist
This maple tree stood as a focal point in my backyard when I was working on a series of Pointillist paintings inspired by the artist, educator, and art historian Andrew Forge. I used a thinly painted tan ground to serve as a neutral background. It was important to me to use the dots to celebrate each color, points of clarity. The hand-painted dots were also a way to explore the relationship of the tree and its leaves to the surrounding space and to create a sense of effervescent movement. This is my favorite piece in the series.
Nicole Maynard is an artist working across media: painting, drawing, digital, and games. She received an MFA in Painting with a minor in Printmaking from the University of Pennsylvania and is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and Miami. Maynard’s paintings exist at the edge of abstraction and representation, using landscape and imagery such as houses and moving boxes to suggest environments in transition. Her compositions balance structure and spatial illusions, reflecting themes of permanence and impermanence, displacement, and belonging. Architectural ambiguity is conveyed through shifting forms, which play a central role in her process.
