Maris Alden

Six years as a speech therapist working with stroke patients showed Maris Alden how color and form can speak beyond words. In 2016 a drawing by one patient hit harder than any therapy session, and Alden began to paint. The artist holds a BA in Art from the University of Texas and works in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The work is abstract and painterly, with movement at its core. Lines spiral out from a center in silver, charcoal and black. A pinwheel of teal, navy and emerald turns along thin gold lines, and magenta and blush pink swirl toward each other in another piece.
