Quietude

ÆRENA Galleries and Gardens invites you to celebrate Quietude, an idyllic exhibition of the paintings of Alison Haley Paul. Join us as we uncover new vistas and revisit favorite places — all masterfully brought to life in the artists rich and extraordinary style.

Alison Haley Paul has developed a dynamic style of painting inspired by the harmony of nature and the pulse of the earth. Using only palette knives, she layers and sculpts oil, wax, pigment, and graphite into rolling hills, luminescent clouds, serene surf, or calming vistas. These mixed media, blended and applied with vitality and panache, give each artwork passion and serenity, focus and scope, a sense of near and far. Paul’s work beguiles the observer to stand back to savor the view, then come closer to bask in the nuanced hues and textural softness.

Alison Haley Paul reminds the viewer of those places that resonate in the memory. Each image is a recollection, a familiar place, a flashback to ethereal impressions. Each viewing of her work is an escape into the viewer’s own longings and remembrances.
