"Modern Fresco Paintings is the first collection of Ali Cavanaugh's paintings, and it follows her entire career using watercolor on kaolin clay to create her modern fresco technique and the lovely work that flows from it. Beginning with her hyper-realistic portraits and ending with her latest, more free-flowing pictures, her use of light, color, and the human form captures the essence of her models and their forms and feelings in a particular moment.

Cavanaugh's artistic sensibility was developed by two important events in her childhood. Her dependence on the visual world began when she lost much of her hearing through spinal meningitis when she was two, and her creative spirit developed out of her being raised in a rural environment where she had to create her own ways of expressing herself and making her own fun.

She developed her stunning modern fresco medium almost by accident as she was learning to apply the outer layer of plaster to her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This volume illustrates her growth as an artist and her mastery of the technique.

These are lovely works, painted masterfully. Both long-time followers of Cavanaugh's work---from the earliest "Sock Arms" paintings to those who found her through more recent work like the Chroma series---and those who are discovering her and her art for the first time, will be delighted by this collection." -Strand Bookstore, New York

Painting is an intuitive process of creating space, a layering of experiences that evokes both unexpected complexity and the bareness of the moment. It is a process of being present to what comes, to new subtleties.

Wherever I am, lately I find myself looking to the light. I look through the trees, in the heavy clouds, at the reflections in the creek. It is ever changing and always there, a basic element in our daily experience. It is the light that makes the shadows that I so love to draw. Where there is light, there is clarity and warmth, and the hope of what is ahead.

I am seeking that glimmer when the surface of the painting truly becomes the edge of a space. The elemental light is exposed and I am immersed, beckoning to something much more expansive.

Emma Larson creates abstract watercolor paintings. When looking at her work, you’ll see she embraces the fluid nature of watercolor and wet-on-wet techniques allowing edges to bleed and shapes to morph. Her paintings make you want to search for hidden figures and recognizable shapes.

Surprise! Elise Morris actually works with acrylics. But her work looks so much like watercolor; we’re going to explore it anyway (and you can get similar effects with watercolor). Her paintings feel light and full of depth. Most pull inspiration from nature. Each layer is transparent and fluid. She often starts by drawing leaf shapes in pencil. She allows many of those lines to remain and sometimes leaves shapes unpainted - How could showing some of your process add meaning to your work?

Justin Margitich creates abstract paintings by mixing watercolor and acrylic paint. He uses acrylic paint to create hard, straight edges, and pairs that with the fluid nature of watercolor. The contrast of the two creates dimension and contrast in his work.

When you go to Cowie’s website, you’ll see a wide range in terms of technique and media. My favorite body of work—and a great example of watercolor—is Passages 2016. She uses bright, vibrant colors that seem to glow. Her work incorporates negative space as well as shape, color, and depth. Her painting, Lincoln Park Conservatory, is made mostly of lines, squares, and rectangles arranged to make the viewer feel like they’re falling to the painting.
