I make abstract paintings with paper. Through my work, I aim to create paintings that are profound, contemplative, meditative, and evocative. Heavy and dense textures created by lines and patterns from stripped layers of paper reveal a sense of decorum and order, juxtaposed with loosely and freely drawn large geometric shapes, which give the impression of freedom and ephemerality. My works are heavily process and repetition driven. I begin by applying several layers of paper on a canvas; once the layers are dried, I repeat the process of stripping and sanding down the layers and building them again. Overall, my paintings have an archeological quality, as viewers can viscerally sense and see different levels and layers of paper that have been intentionally built and destroyed, leaving elaborate and complicated traces. Once completed, it is left with an intensely and intricately textured surface laden with fiber debris from paper. My work constantly examines the theme of devotion: as an artist, I am intrigued and inspired by the mastery of quotidian details through contemplation, meditation, and dedication, as I observe everyday life itself an art form and artistic platform. In my paintings, textures, physical depth, and structures lend a feeling of devotion and alludes to the time spent on each painting.

Young makes abstract paintings with paper. At the core of her practice, she explores the concept of impermanence as it relates to life, and the beauty of such mercuriality and unpredictability embedded in the life form. Techniques and process are key to expressing her intention as she unearths the essence of the theme of ephemerality by peeling away colored paper that was first meticulously layered and copiously built up. She is inspired by this process of building and removing intricate layers in order to reveal what is underneath and between – birthing something entire new from the ashes of destruction. In her body of work, melding her past experiences and passion together, Young combines elements from art, design, and craft. Young received her BA in Philosophy from Occidental College, and post graduate studies in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design. Her paintings have been exhibited and placed by galleries and collectors throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
