PROJECT STATEMENT

Gillian’s paintings in recent years have been an exploration of the unremarkable and normally unnoticed spaces that are a part of her surrounding urban landscape. Subjects such as parking lots or public parks appear in her work. Drawn to the quality of light these spaces possess and observing their ability to suggest a mood or imply a human presence, she seeks to draw from these otherwise ordinary and sometimes stark locations a sense of intimacy and emotion.
