Description
“I consider my paint as a sculptor might her clay. Each brush stroke takes on a form of its own and, in the end, creates textures that explore and express an object or scene. My panels rarely sit static in the easel; I turn them sideways or upside down—sometimes even laying them flat on the floor—throughout the process, exploring ways to layer and move paint. What I’m beginning to tap into is a dynamic experience of weaving an image together, of building it.”
-Stephanie Hartshorn
Stephanie Hartshorn is recognized for her strong architectural portraits of Rural America, and has been featured in the SantaFean, Southwest Art,and Western Art Collector magazines. A fifth-generation Coloradan, her subjects fall into diverse camps. First, the West that she grew up around: an iconic landscape of barns, fields, and criss-crossing power lines. Second, the West that grew up around Route 66: living just a stone’s throw from Denver’s storied Colfax Avenue, Hartshorn finds continual challenge in capturing and contextualizing the signs and sights from the bygone motor hotel era.
