autumn wilkins
acrylic and mixed media

A lotus flower from Thailand, a ginko leaf off a sidewalk in Dupont Circle, a cicada buzzing after a 17 year slumber. In her paintings, Autumn Wilkins infuses these objects with new character and brings them into being as part of beautiful dreamlike landscapes.

Using a combination of typography, paint, canvas, paper and found objects, Wilkins’s paintings are deeply personal and emotionally expressive. Colors ranging from crimson and gold to pink and chartreuse, elicit a wide range of moods and feelings. In her own words, she uses "...colors that evoke emotions of mystical and reflective dreamlike thoughts, in pools of color, banded and fused with tiny bits of nature."

Many of her pieces have Asian influences resulting from her travels to South East Asia and time spent exploring the Chinatowns of San Francisco and New York.
