_Breanna Boulton
Artist Statement “In Pieces_”

My work is about intense feelings of obligation and being locked in 
situations that are beyond what any person should ever endure. It’s 
about reconnecting and seeking a sense of belonging, of safety, of 
family, friends, and home.

In these paintings, I’m trying to draw the viewer into the emotions 
associated with leaving someone you love. Just like relationships 
themselves, the aftermath of leaving has its highs and lows. The deep 
grays and reds mark the fiery, angry, and depressive states of mind 
while the subtle earthy tones mimic feelings of hope and neutrality. 
Layers create depth and a sense of transitioning while inconsistencies 
on the canvas, heavy texture, and deep gouges reference the road to new 
beginnings.
