I explore space and form by intertwining gestural marks and drawings with thick paint layers and subtle transparencies. My compositions draw inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else. My current series of work, “SHROUDED IN PEARLS,” highlights the obstacles facing pollinators. These tiny creatures are vital to creating and maintaining the natural homes and ecosystems that humans and animals rely on for food and shelter. One out of every three bites of food is created by a pollinator. They facilitate the reproduction process in 90% of the world’s flowering plants. Yet pollinator populations have been in decline for years due to loss of habitat, pollutants and pesticides. In 2016, for the first time, seven bee species were added to the endangered species list. My goal is to achieve fragmentation and degradation in my use of the paint on canvas, mimicking the affected ecosystems while simultaneously revealing hints of renewal and rebirth, and nurturing hope for the smallest of creatures and the ecosystems that rely on them.

My work portrays my observations as an artist and a human being of the deep connection between plants and animals and the ecosystems in which they thrive. Each painting draws inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else. I explore space and form by intertwining gestural marks and drawings with thick layers of paint and subtle transparencies, leading to the intersection of abstraction and the natural world. During the painting process, I am mapping out the underlying paint layers, collage, and drawing mediums. While some of this process is predetermined, other aspects arrive organically through subtracting and adding, carving, and peeling away paper and paint to reveal earlier parts of the work. As I manipulate paint on the canvas, the compositions begin to encompass a journey through a multitude of layers that combine unconventional methods, gradually revealing a history of spatial interpretations as the final piece emerges. The resulting multi-layered abstract canvases serve as windows into natural landscapes and environments, with pollution and consumerism hanging at the edges. My works are metaphors for survival and hope. They attempt to elevate the viewer’s awareness of our involvement as human beings in our world’s case for eco-sustainability. Fran McNamara
