Celeste Hutchings:
My work is about Victory. I document my creative practice while I produce vibrant and flowing abstract paintings that celebrate my life.
First, I write. The artist statement for each painting focuses on equity. I consider how to take daring and empowered action in my life, no matter where or how I find myself.
Then, I paint. Each canvas becomes a meditation that nurtures growth. I work with dynamic colours and fluid shapes to produce paintings that act as sacred spaces, ones that expressively offer solace and strengthen.
Finally, I take a self-portrait. Which commemorates the growth I've cultivated through a given project.
