“Life Elevated” is inspired by diverse landscapes of the Montana plains to the Southern California desert. The painting underscores the Color-themed exhibition, as it blends western plains’ structures—a grain elevator, warehouse, and storage silo—with colors inspired by Southern California’s vibrant hues. The bold color palette transforms these traditional forms, suggesting new possibilities and imbuing them with liveliness. The painting highlights how different environments can inspire the artist, offering a fresh perspective on familiar structures.
