Proud is an understatement

I remember the first day we met when you had us for our wedding cake tasting, what a gift you have. You make people feel seen, felt and understood. Your art speaks volumes. It has been almost a decade. What a blessing to know you, and to be known by you.
Hereâs a little more on Elli:
Over the last few years, Wahlâs body of work has ranged from abstraction with a focus on nature, to representational works, and lately a combination of both these approaches. The artist has always been fascinated with nature and the human form as a source of inspiration. There is a pull towards the macabre, the unassuming, the things people rush past and donât notice: the light that casts an interesting shadow or the beauty of tiny lichen discovered on her adventures.
An overarching theme found in all of Wahlâs works is a sense of a constant emerging, becoming, transformation, and liminal spaces, the ones that are both being and becoming at once. In those spaces it is an interplay between seeming opposites: light and shadow, chaos and order, abstraction and representation. Life is complex; Wahlâs work captures the tension of this duality, saying:
âItâs both... but also more than thatâ.
âMy work begins in the dark - in gesture, in abstraction, in the unruly pull of paint. From this space of seeming chaos, forms are slowly drawn into being.â

The metamorphosis, the evolution, the power of noticing order within chaos⊠I love it alllllll. Profound! Please reach out to Elli should you be interested in the beauty bestowed on us- the bareness of the naked eye. The consummate gift of perception⊠reflection and refractionâŠ.
