Shona McAndrew: Now You're in the Field: Shona McAndrew

CHART Gallery is pleased to present a virtual exhibition, Now You’re in the Field, featuring Shona McAndrew’s latest watercolors. In past series, McAndrew has focused on creating contemporary portraits of friends and acquaintances in intimate settings, often within their own domestic interiors, with poses inspired by art historical references.

While recent works incorporated elements from the outside world—a window facing foliage, for instance—this new series of watercolors completes that evolving progression by staging portraits in blissful natural settings. As the artist explains, it’s a way for her to metaphorically escape and create beautiful, peaceful environments.
