Maria Beam Exhibiting at Bonfire Coffee through April 2022
Carbondale Arts partners with Bonfire Coffee in Carbondale to feature new artists every 2 months. Now through April 2022, Roaring Fork Valley artist Maria Beam is exhibiting her watercolor originals and prints.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Maria is a traditionally trained mixed-media painter from Baltimore, Maryland, whose love of the mountains called her to the Roaring Fork Valley nearly a decade ago. Her creations are inspired by this special place and the spiritual awakening facilitated by her time spent in the wilderness. Much of her artwork features vibrant nightscapes. These expressive starry skies and colorful palettes explore the beauty we find when we venture into the dark and unknown, and the treasures unearthed when we are willing to know and embrace our shadow. The bright colors of the surreal skies are reflected in a spectrum of landscapes beneath them, a reminder that all above is reflected below and within.
This collection of work is intended to capture that sense of being a part of the divine whole, a vibration that can be reached when we open our higher-mind and commune with nature. Saturated palettes, dense flora across textured landscapes, and oversized elements, illustrate the magic and sense of wonder we feel at the world when we are able to step outside of our incarnated form. These experiences bring the quiet stillness of the world into our own inner space, and allow us to feel and express gratitude for this human experience.
