(previous) Follingstad’s work comes from a personal relationship with the sights and experience of the natural world, and she often paints in an outdoor studio. Her vision, in tune with the rhythm and pulse of the world around her, is tangible in her ability to yoke color and form to her subtle perceptions. Far from formulaic or over-worked, each image strikes a balance between inspired spontaneity and an experienced hand. Her finished surfaces, especially in her most recent oil paintings, are smooth and richly saturated. The paint, often in mesmerizing palettes of red, ochre, and rose, vibrates across the surface of the canvas or paper, capturing the drama of a rain cloud or the serenity of a desert snowfall.
