In her new series of paintings, Loralee Jade continues her practice of responding visually to images or memories she carries with her, or even colors used in a previous collection or dream. For Jade, painting is a wordless conversation with herself that holds all the wisdom, clarity, and endless questions she can imagine — a conversation that makes the creation journey worthy of a viewer’s time and attention. Whether it be about generational trauma, becoming a mother for the first time, or simply her fascination with the color blue, Jade’s work manages to capture so much more than one could ever express with words.
