Works on Paper: Marla Baggetta

Baggetta’s approach to painting reflects the formal art education she received and her experience as a landscape painter; “I am a great believer in the fundamentals of painting; drawing, composition, color theory and the thoughts that paintings communicate an idea through this vocabulary. The process of bringing a concept to a complete image is deeply compelling and satisfying. My painting process is a very active one where my first marks and impressions are usually bold and gestural. Then I settle in and make assessments and refinements. The last marks are usually slow, quiet ones, as I am making small moves to find my way towards the finished piece. I’m hoping to capture the “aha!” that originally attracted me to my subject.
