Artist Statement

 Abigail LaCroix’s paintings occupy a realm where magic and meditation coexist in playful harmony. Familiar forms are abstracted and the boundaries of light, pleasure, and ornamentation are explored without searching for answers. LaCroix’s compositions are reminiscent of landscapes and stained glass, emitting a quiet vibration through the dynamics of color and layers of transparency. Luminous portals are crafted that oscillate between spiritual and sensual, playing with the idea of touch (or the absence of it).
