Kasey Wanford

Kasey Wanford is an abstract expressionist artist currently residing in Portland, Oregon. Her artistic journey begins with an initial painting phase characterized by an intuitive and chaotic approach. During this stage, Kasey taps into her self-consciousness, allowing her emotions and inner feelings to guide her brushstrokes and colors. This raw expression captures a persistent feeling, often reflecting her inner world and thoughts.

After this spontaneous phase, Kasey transitions to a more deliberate process in later sessions. She focuses on refining the artwork, aiming to achieve compositional integrity. Drawing upon her extensive background in design, she carefully considers the relationships between various elements of the painting. This meticulous approach allows her to create a harmonious balance, ensuring that each part of the artwork contributes to the overall impact.

Through her unique creative process, Kasey Wanford not only showcases her individual artistic voice but also invites viewers to connect with the emotions and experiences embedded in her vibrant abstract creations. Her work stands as a testament to the power of both intuition and careful design in the realm of abstract expressionism.
