Post creates paintings of women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. These works occupy a mythic place in our consciousness where timeless dramas are played out, questioning what we know about the world. The complex themes resonate on both emotional and intellectual levels, revealing glimpses into realms that are otherwise hard to see. Her imagery is powerful and richly pigmented. Settings are composites of remembered places from her childhood growing up on the New England coast, her home in the hills of western Massachusetts, and her extensive travels. She incorporates landscapes, seascapes, people, architecture, and curious details that have never existed together in reality to construct a singularly compelling narrative. In Post’s larger pieces, her viewpoint is just outside the picture plane – one more step and you feel as if you can walk right into the painting. Birds, and the powers and mythology associated with them, have long been choreographed into her work, as companions or avatars of change, growth, or freedom. Post’s paintings, while following her own distinctive vision, fall well within the realm of contemporary realism. She has always drawn and painted the figure. Her work is organized around the geometry of patterns and the painterly flow of skies. She creates a realm where women are on the cusp of change and in sync with the natural world, a place where the spirit resides. Enigmatic, evocative, and surreal, all of Post’s work asks the question: “What is real?”
