Traveling Home: watercolors by Mattina Blue • Empty Mirror

“Traveling Home” is a series of floating, totem-like forms, which emerged in the process of painting as if excavated from deep in my subconscious.

They’re moving with the waves, currents and tides, perpetually shifting, accommodating, adding and subtracting to create inner and outer balance. The paintings represent a private journey to discover/rediscover Home.

Hello, saw your work at CMCA. I curate The Frank Brockman Gallery in Brunswick. Care for a show? It is a wonderful space, 1400 square feet, 170 feet of wall space. Great lighting. If you do IG you could see a lot on my site:
