SLU Museum of Art: Friday, 22 June 2012
The Saint Louis University Museum of Art
Friday, June 22 Opening reception: 6 - 8 p.m.
Steen’s paintings are a powerful expression of sensitivity and technique. Her harmonious and appealing work is alive with lush colors, as well as large washes of transcendent hues and tones. She often integrates handmade paper, strings, found objects, or scraps of memorabilia that convey a sensitivity, complexity and richness to her work.
For Steen, her collages are the equivalent of keeping a visual art diary and paint an emotional narrative. She acknowledges that pain and struggle are an integral part of the human existence. Her ultimate goal is to transcend pain and darkness and create paintings that instead, convey hope and beauty through the interplay between color, line, and texture.
