Notes From The Artist
"In the past twelve years that I have lived on a bridged island in Maine, my physical body and art work have become innately attuned to the rhythms of nature. I have been tirelessly building a permaculture garden above granite
ledge here. Daily, I work in the garden starting plants from seed and nurturing them to maturity with the intent of supporting pollinators and growing my own food and flowers.
I bring these flowers into the studio where I continue my studies of them. As they become fully themselves and venture into their final stages, I play around with various configurations where they seem to be conversing with each other.. By playing with negative space, light and shadows, certain characteristics are taken on that I focus on in the paintings. Ultimately these
paintings of flowers address definitions of beauty, aging and our engagement with societal issues."
Kellner's paintings draw from her interest in growing things, grounding with nature and cultivating the land. She takes her cues from nature’s ability to organize chaos and create new forms out of decay. Through a system of layering, scraping, sanding and layering again, the painting's surface is built up slowly allowing for patterns to emerge and subtleties to come to the forefront. Particular attention is paid to how space is occupied; balancing
empty space with filled and observing their interactions. Teetering between the simplicity of form and the complexity of thought, the paintings shift the familiar into moments of contemplation, reflection and seeing anew.

Artist Statement
"My paintings and sculptural constructions begin with an intense immersion into the natural world and an obsessive interest in observing how objects hold memory. Working intuitively, I’m interested in how the subconscious comingles with the physical through recognition, observation and instinctive mark making. My work is concerned with activating this space in the painting. Perception and the way space is inhabited, directly impact my understanding of the world. In my work, they are altered, tweaked, inflated and compressed.
"The slight angle of a tree trunk, a series of telephone lines, a slept in bed or a particular pattern of water current become communicators of emotion, feeling and experiential place. A blending occurs between the simplicity of form and the complex nature of thought, bringing the resulting work to its essence."

Letting Go - Limited Edition Canvas Print is beautifully framed with a bold color palette and a big splash of white. It reminds me of an ocean wave, I love looking at it. Very happy with my purchase.
On a weekend stroll in Westport, I visited Sorelle gallery. It a welcoming environment to display works of art. Two artists caught my eye. Having a specific spot to place a piece, I looked at original works, but the originals didn’t fit. Exploring canvas prints gave me more options and I found one I love. It works in the room beautifully and brings me joy every day.

I haven’t taken possession yet, it is in the artists show!
