“Four Flowers” - acrylic on canvas

Treasure Frey is an instinctual artist, working in the moment and within the rhythm of life around her. She is fascinated by the natural world and the people and things that flow through that space, observing and recording with color what she sees and senses.

Her work explores the juxtaposition of simplicity and complexity inspired by the contrasts present in her environment. She interprets the organic textures that appear within the manufactured lines of the city. Revising and perfecting lines brings about a sense of order where there may be chaos. Patterns appear, then disintegrate. There is stillness and activity which can be found within each piece and in the relationship of the pieces to each other.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I painted this in the springtime when my morning walks became infused with the scent of flowers. Bombarded by the sweet, fleeting scent, and the brilliant parade of colors, my inner creative muse was inspired and I had no choice but to paint “Four Flowers”.

Treasure‘s works have been shown in galleries and national art fairs in Seattle, Brooklyn, Oakland, San Francisco, Florida, and Texas since receiving her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1997. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
