Mari Anna Chism is interested in the materiality of paint. Her work in acrylics allows her to explore texture, depth, and form -- transforming the paint itself into an integral part of the composition. Her work is deeply influenced by a lifelong fascination with repetitive patterns and color harmonies. These elements serve as both a visual language and a way to create a rhythm within her paintings. Beneath the surface, an underlying grid structure anchors each composition, offering a sense of order amid the fluidity of form and color.
