RACHELLE KRIEGER | PAINTINGS

I am moved by the word “inspire”: to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration; to fill with an animating, quickening, or exalting influence; the drawing in of breath. Through my current paintings, I am exploring breath and air — the space between, prana, life-force, the essence that sustains and connects us — while staying rooted to earth. The challenge is to visually capture something we can’t see, but feel, to express that duality of expansion and contraction, the feeling of being aloft yet grounded.
