New Work for Esther Brown

The art of Esther continues to evolve and develop as she explores new images and ideas through different uses of materials and themes. She often uses faces as a motif to express emotion and ideas, while incorporating familiar images that emerge from her work as the composition unfolds.

Her work is intuitive and responsorial to what unfolds,  one moment at a time, on the paper. A color, a line, or a pattern can trigger the next, causing a domino effect that yields the final composition. Her work is not planned out, but it flows from one color to the next line, and then to the next shape.

Not only has she done this in her own work, but she has taught this to the other artists who she has raised in her family, her son and granddaughter. She also shares her philosophy of art with her granddaughter-in-law, as well as her daughter-in-law. She is the first teacher of art in the Brown family as we all know and understand it.

The entire Brown family, led and inspired by Esther, is organizing and forming a plan to launch an organized art movement to get all of our art out into the world so it can be shared and experienced. Esther believes, as all of us do, that art is an experiential message that should be shared. We all share it with each other, and we want to continue making art and sharing it with others.

Please enjoy this work and comment if you have questions on anything. More work will be posted soon. Esther's work, as well as the rest of the family, is found in Coos Bay, Oregon, at The Fellowship art gallery.
