In Transit

Selected Paintings and Drawings

Artist’s Statement:

The metaphysical elements of time and space are translated into images connected to time and place. IN TRANSIT integrates the abstract spatial narrative with realism. In the abstract paintings, the repeated vertical rectangles, whether entrances of exits, barriers or openings, symbolize our existence which is always in transit. In the paintings of objects and talismans and the drawing of memory places, the echoing shape of the door connects the abstract themes with reality.IN TRANSIT is my autobiography. The paintings and drawings, ideas and images, are an exploration of the nature of experience and the unknowables of existence.

“Stevens has integrated the abstract and representational, weaving together spatial narratives with iconographic images of places and things that have given contour to her own personal reality.”
