Inspired by the sense of refuge she felt watching the sunsets and the storms of the Great Plains in Oklahoma as a child, Laine Nixon's colorful palette and unique application of paint imparts a sense of transcendence, mystery, and contemplation. Seeking to reverse the typical properties of transparent and opaque paint, Nixon embeds washers, pours, and otherwise watery paint within a heavy-bodied, texturized acrylic gradient - emphasizing the contrast between the two. Her deft hand helps create the illusion of three-dimensional objects, protruding from a flat surface that challenge the viewers perception and alter the senses all while providing a pleasing aesthetic experience.
Nixon is a visual artist based in Sarasota, Florida. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of South Florida, Tampa, and a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
