PETEY BROWN

Petey Brown is a painter working primarily in oil, gouache and monotype.
Figuration has been her main interest. Recent subjects are swimmers or partial figures in water with fields of color dominating the space. Large expanses of water provide opportunity to explore color in a non objective context. Air, as the background for jumpers, becomes another format for colorfield painting.
