Simone White
Artist Statement
Living in Colorado, we are profoundly connected to the natural beauty that surrounds us. The mountains, rivers, forests, and valleys are not only the backbone of our state’s unique identity but also serve as a sanctuary for many. My work is a reflection of this shared connection to the environment. It taps into the universal value of nature’s beauty and the importance of protecting it. In my paintings I use bright, inviting color palettes. In contrast, I am also a printmaker and often create prints that emphasize the importance of simplicity and neutral colors. I enjoy high energy, social, and engaging projects that demand personality and charisma. I thrive in spaces outside of my studio working on collaborative or community projects. Working directly in wilderness spaces helps to inform my process. By showcasing the beauty of nature through my art, I hope to foster a deeper appreciation for our surroundings and inspire action toward preservation.
