Ethereal Encounters

Landscape painters Marcia Wise (Massachusetts) and Rikki Van Den Berg (Ireland) present works that embody their inner emotional experiences, resonating with a collective, powerful energy.

Marcia Wise

Marcia's paintings of abstracted landscapes and more abstracted pieces evoke the powerful emotional reactions that aspects of nature stir within. These are honest peeks into her inner relationship with the world, filled with color and endless joy. Her process is a passionate trial of color placement, color relationships, light effects, introspection, form and pattern manipulation, and textural play.

Rikki Van Den Berg

Inspired by the stunning land- and seascapes of Inishowen, County Donegal, Rikki’s landscapes provide a structure for processing and reflecting on life, capturing the world as it appears to her and the essence of each experience. Her landscapes embrace tranquility, its vulnerable beauty, its fleeting moments of timelessness, and the tumult of the landscape with grace.
