Piece description from the artist
While hiking past a pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts, I came across this lovely tree stump with flowers. It was the only one I had ever seen that appeared as if in a storybook, slightly wild with evidence of its age, as lichen covered parts of the roots. It was June, and the bright green grass completed the feeling of optimism within this quiet moment. I took the photograph to capture its charm, selecting a composition that made use of the angle of a nearby tree, which echoed the angle of the roots with a sliver of the pond showing in the upper left.
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.
