Stimulated by study of abstract and lyrical expressionist art, Kearns explores compositional drama with an emphasis on repetition and process in a graceful and convincing manner. Her paintings reside somewhere between the real and the artificial – like the illusion of wind and light seen through closed eyelids. Her work displays an unerring sensitivity to line, color and form. With each circle painted by hand, layered light moves and dances intoxicatingly over the surface.
Kearns is mesmerized by beautiful moments – not just because of the aesthetics, but because they stir her soul, allowing her to experience something beyond herself, something far greater than her own reality. Over the course of her career, Kearns’ paintings have paid tribute to these moments found in our everyday experience: light dancing on water, a beautiful bloom or the shimmer of a sparkling chandelier.
Kearns resides in Seattle, WA. She received her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Toronto, Canada with a specialist in Fine Arts and Art History as well as her Diploma in Art from Sheridan College.
