Ms. Mitchell’s paintings reflect an abstract vision of the landscape viewed from her travels. These include interpretations of the fields, cuts through the mountains and views from walks, on her bike or out the window of a car, plane or building. Fortunate to have traveled within the US and Europe she is always struck with the patterns made by the waves on the sand, plowed fields and the mountain rock the roadways have exposed as well as the untouched textures of the land. These colors, shapes and textures offer inspiration for her work. Sometimes the artist works from drawings, but more often from memory and often combines more than one location in a single painting. One of her great pleasures is listening to what the viewer sees which may be something quite different from what she was thinking during the creative process.
