Heavenly
Mixed media on panel
60" x 36" x 2.5"
Light pours down from above in every color at once. Sky blue and navy open the procession on the left, followed by fiery red, tangerine, lemon and lime, while a wider ribbon of soft aqua falls through the middle like a beam breaking through clouds. On the right, the order returns in reverse, green, gold, orange, red and blue, so the whole painting feels like a rainbow reflected in still water. A powdery blue mist hovers behind the lines, giving them air and lift. The paint is thick and luminous, gathering into small pools where each stream slowed. Mandie poured these lines one after another and let gravity guide them home. The result is radiant and uplifting, a glimpse of something bright and blessed.
Uplifting and generous, it brings a wall of light to a large living room, a stairwell or a dining room. Keep the setting simple with white walls and pale oak, and let its luminous procession of color become the heart of the room.

The Collections
Pigment breaks loose across the surface, feathered forms climbing through bands of color, caught in the instant before they open all the way.
Paint falls in continuous vertical streams, layer over layer, color caught mid-descent before it ever reaches the ground.
At the edge of the visible world, resin, pigment powders, and luminous forms suggest planetary landscapes no one has named yet.
Immediate, unguarded and alive. Color erupts, gestures cut across fields of pattern, painting as a way of releasing what words cannot hold.
Burlap, plaster, and mixed media hold the memory of surfaces worn by time, artifacts of a history that was never written down.
Pigment flows in channels across white ground, color finding its own path the way water finds a bed to run through.
Pigment pools and cracks across the surface, veined like a lakebed or a membrane, ground still settling into its shape.
