SHERRI BELASSEN Artist Spotlight

Artist Sherri Belassen creates a unique conversation between color,

negative

space

and

whimsical pattern in each of her paintings. The palette of her work resonates with the rich landscape of her home in the Southwest, and her figures have a dreamy quality within. Belassen incorporates underpainting in the early stages of her work, using it as a jumping off point. She then begins to build layers with a palette knife and paintbrush. She looks for where the painting is going to lead her, as most of her subject matter and imagery is drawn from her imagination. Belassen states, “not knowing where I’ll end up is exciting to me. Finding my way through each painting is always a unique experience.”

Thematically, Belassen’s work draws from power, strength, light and positivity. For her, painting is a journey. Each piece is another opportunity to venture somewhere unknown.
