July 18 | September 1, 2026Serene Abstracted Landscapes in Fierce Color“…Firestone has developed a distinct painterly language in which horizon, atmosphere, and light are distilled into expansive fields of color and spatial ambiguity. Her works do not describe landscape so much as reconstruct its sensorial and emotional conditions. Suspended between abstraction and place, they register shifts of weather, luminosity, and depth through layered pigment, calibrated tonal relationships, and an exacting command of surface….”
-Curator Maureen Sarro, 203 Fine Art | Gallery 215
❋ Intentional Structure
I paint from stillness, not from plan. Color arrives fierce because the moment is fierce. Structure gives way to feeling, and feeling becomes the form.
❋ Color as Emotion, Not Decoratio
Blue does not fill space here. It carries weight. Red does not accent. It insists. Each mark is a feeling made visible, fierce color against quiet ground.
❋ The Land as Teacher
New Mexico's sky and horizon shape every canvas I touch. Graphite lines trace the terrain I return to, again and again. This is not landscape as subject. This is landscape as home.
✳ An Invitation to Slow Down
These paintings ask nothing of you but presence. Sit with them the way you would sit with a sunset. Let the eye wander. Let the mind rest.
Return to beauty. Let the noise fall away."
