Marion Wood is a British abstract artist now living and working in the Camarillo area of Southern California and a Resident Artist of Studio Channel Islands.  

 

I am totally enamoured with the process and excitement of creating. The endless possibilities, the tranquility and sometimes distress of the journey.  A roadless landscape where one can feel completely alone and very free.  The work focusses on the simplest  elements of artistic expression, where all representational elements are extracted and reduced to a momentary impression or deep expression.  I love to experiment with  color fields and texture, and allowing the paint to meander in rivulets through the cracks and crevices using only the force of gravity.  There is something raw and beautiful about the process, and I strive for that connection in each painting until the work settles into its final completion.
