COVIDSCAPES

Cynthia Yatchman

I primarily use acrylic paint, latex paints, inks, papers, and charcoal. My images contain many diverse layers of meaning, from the universal to the specific and personal. Many of my works are abstract. I am frequently interested in pattern and/or creating a rich, sensual surface by making layer upon layer of marks. There is often an unseen history within these layers as images are obscured and revealed.

My work frequently gives reference to my experience with nature  I found myself wanting to bring the outside inside during Covid and did many landscapes and florals after viewing them in the world. At times my work speaks to issues of social justice, revelation, and connection.
