"Nature in an abstracted or reflected state has always been an inspiration for me, specifically when a connection appears between an exterior and inner reality. And it is this powerful but elusive moment that I aim to convey in my paintings."Los Angeles-based artist, Audra Weaser, blankets successive layers of mixed media, continuously refining then obscuring the composition with a thin veil of white. From there, the highly physical process of excavation begins, using a sander to reveal the final balance of color and form. Her abstracted landscapes are illuminated from within, capturing the history of this symbolic unearthing.Audra Weaser was raised in Southern California and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She earned her M.F.A in painting from Claremont Graduate University and has exhibited extensively since then. Her work is in private and public collections worldwide—from New York and San Francisco to Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.
