Abstract Paintings
My gestural abstract paintings resemble carefully composed songs, where contour lines act like musical notes and interact with blocks of color to create delicate narratives. I intentionally use empty space as a compositional element, allowing the eye to breathe, much like the rests in music. My color choices are instinctual, contrasting vibrant, saturated hues with muted tones to evoke a unique mood for each viewer. The result is a dynamic and harmonious visual concerto, rich with energy and emotion.

Artist Statement:
Megan Carty describes her abstract expressionist paintings as “visual poems that illustrate the human lived experience.” Our inner-beings are both beautiful AND flawed. In our lives’ journeys, we experience celebrations, achievements, love, and fun. In contrast, we also experience losses, injustices, abuses, and sadness. We are both given TO and taken FROM. Carty aims to document this dichotomy using specific colors, compositions with open space, and line. She pulls her mark making inspiration from plants and flowers, as they are the ultimate symbols of continuous death and renewal.
