Soft Blues II

Nancy Simonds adores rich colors, and the relationships between them; the thrill of potential in each new piece keeps her exploring in the studio. She creates abstract gouache paintings on paper, each piece a different arrangement of colored blocks, ovals, and arcs to suggest a feeling of—as Simonds puts it—"ordered transcendence." Created on high-quality, professional-grade paper, this softly-textured work ships rolled in a tube.
