Painter Amy Pleasant Returns to Art & Soul in September

For September, Art & Soul presents a new series by local artist, Amy Pleasant. After a challenging year, Amy used her experiences to inform this new body of landscape paintings.  Turning to nature for a space of solace, Amy took walks in some of her favorite forests in the Puget Sound region for comfort and a broader perspective.

Her usual painting practice normally filled with light and color on every layer began instead with a canvas of inky blackness and became a metaphor for the dark night she has struggled to let go of. On these canvases she wanted to see what would come out of her mind and her hand. The inspiration of those forests; a reminder of the perfection of nature, the cycle of life and most importantly a reminder that light appears from the darkness.
