Lydia Mckee

Lydia's immersive painting process, incorporating elements from her surroundings and allowing her mind's emotions to guide her compositions, transcends traditional boundaries, capturing not just images but the very essence of her Californian environment. She creates vibrant explosions and dislodges of color infused with great inner passion, inviting viewers to explore the intricate tapestry of modern culture reflected in her works. Lydia's distinctive artistic approach involves painting her larger-scale pieces from a ladder, directly onto canvas, a defining feature of her practice. Deeply inspired by the pop art movement and mid-century abstraction, her methods blur the lines between figuration and abstraction seamlessly integrating color, texture, and other characteristics into her pieces. This style and technique add depth and vitality to the art, making every creation visually engaging and emotionally resonant with inner authenticity, relevance, and always joy.
