ARTIST'S STATEMENT
When artist Maura Segal was a child, she loved doing puzzles so much she wondered how she could turn it into a career as an adult. Looking back, she writes, “I realized that finishing a puzzle gave me a sense of order, of inner-peace, a sense of calm, as if everything made sense, even if just for a fleeting moment.” Maura still feels the same today when she finishes a new painting. Maura’s work is a reflection of her contentment with life’s daily routine. Her art references the curved, sloping lines and networks of intertwining pathways that she observes in her daily drives through a city in motion. The sun-drenched hues of the Southern Californian palette frame and anchor these dynamic pathways. The meticulous clean lines and brushstrokes in her artwork reflect her pursuit of order and balance; everything needs to be in its right place. The lines, just like urban roads, are carefully planned out; an ever changing infrastructure, an organized chaos. As Maura explains, “Just like the pieces of a puzzle fit together to create one picture, I attempt to organize my world, one artwork at a time.” ABOUT
