Diane Patton's recent work involves abstracting images collected during her hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Building her paintings by inviting organic forms and shapes, Patton uses layer after layer of opaque and transparent paint to create her vibrant canvases. Insistent that the painting must be free to wander, Patton likes her paintings to show the mark of the hand, a gouged line, the scratched mark, the brush stroke, always exploring energy and light. Patton's paintings are a fine line between intent and exploration; never fully planned out at their inception, but informed by years of her experience as an artist. Working from memory allows Patton to move past mere depiction to the conception of original works that combine vision, experience and creativity.
