Madeline Peckenpaugh: Chosen Places presents paintings that challenge viewers' perceptions of landscapes, balancing between reality and abstraction. Her works use shifting scales, layered textures, and organic forms to explore memory, imagination, and the natural world. Techniques like adding, scraping, and veiling paint create scenes that pulse with light, depth, and movement. Peckenpaugh’s compositions evoke a sense of both vastness and intimacy, capturing spaces where creation and erasure coexist.
