30" x 40" x 1.5”. Acrylic, oil pastel, and charcoal on gallery-wrapped canvas by Wendy Pabich.
The California Poppy—also called the “Cup of Gold”—is a stunning reminder of magic on this planet. This flower archetype represents the restless, seeking energy and dreams of “instant enlightenment” we often associate with the Golden State, while also reminding us that, in the words of Gary Snyder, “true gold is in the heart.
“We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us.”~Rumi

Truth
24" x 24" x 1.5”. Acrylic, pastel, oil pastel, and charcoal on raised wood panel by Wendy Pabich. This image came to me during a Chakra Healing binaural meditation. Creating it involved building up texture, depth, and richness through layering and mark making.

This almost always requires committing to the work, starting out with an exciting concept, image or intention, and diving in, only to at some point find myself in the nebulous "middle" where a successful outcome i...

Orb I
From the Burst collection. 30" x 30" x 1.5”. Acrylic and china market on gallery-wrapped canvas by Wendy Pabich. This painting is an exploration of occlusion and negative space. I started by pulling a rich palette of ochres and blues of varying transparency across the canvas in a squeegee-like motion, draping the entire panel. For reasons I can’t explain, with a china marker, I began drawing a series of orbs, of varying shapes and sizes, the position of each determined by an innate sense of balance and composition. Only then did I use the opaque cream color to occlude parts of the transl...

Aquifer I
From the Water collection. 30" x 30" x 1.5”. Acrylic on raised wooden panel by Wendy Pabich. Be Like Water. Water, for its beauty, intrinsic properties, and mystical powers, remains for me a source of endless inspiration, stories, and life lessons. The paintings in this series are both an exploration of science through art, and expressions of reverence for our life-giving waters. By layering acrylic paint, pumice, plaster, and various mediums, I seek to emulate earth patterns, where form and function are intertwined. My mixtures on canvas create organic images that speak of weathering, ...

Sultry Afternoon
From the There Came a Day collection. 30" x 30" x 1.5”. Acrylic and china marker on gallery-wrapped canvas by Wendy Pabich. This intuitive piece was born of a sense of color, and brought to life using the rounded end of a foam roller to evoke leaves and flowers, followed by application of thick, opaque paint and china marker to highlight and ground the objects. "And the day came when the risk to remain tight as a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~Anais Nin
