“My work explores simplified shapes and fragmented forms that are reminiscent of stained glass or the view through a kaleidoscope. These works were painted by building layers of shapes on top of each other. This creates a feeling of depth and mystery in the artworks. I primarily create work in acrylic, pastels and oils. I paint without taping the shapes because I want the viewer to feel the warmth of a human hand. In my paintings the scenes are fragmented, because it’s the way I see the world. Through color and form my object is to make the world whole, and bring order and peace to the broken places.” - April Pyne
