The works of emerging and established women artists who explore spiritual themes in their work are featured in the new curated collection, “Window to Her Soul.” Instead of painting external realities, these artists depict inner spiritual experiences. From visionary drawings of botanical mysticism that allude to womanhood, to mesmerizing paintings that portray the liminal space between the physical world and the mind, these works inspire the viewer into a state of enlightenment through the metaphysical properties of color and form. Here, we offer a glimpse into the practices of nine of the featured artists.
Inspired by spiritual contemplation and rituals, Garrard’s paintings encapsulate the feeling of lightness of being. The artist collects natural materials on her travels and refines them into pigment, which she uses to create organic color palettes that flood the picture plane with light.
