Artist Statement
Aondrea Maynard’s paintings are modern interpretations of Nature & the human journey that explore the emotionally evocative power of color and light as seduction, invitation and sanctuary.
In her more abstract creations, Aondrea engages the senses using gestural mark-making techniques that play with line, texture, a variety of pigments and luminosity. Her paintings invite the viewer into a serendipitous and mysterious world beyond word or representation that speaks volumes in serenity, intrigue and repose that is ever expansive, transformative, and inclusive.
