I wanted to create a body of work that explores the invisible thread which connects humanity and the essence of the natural world. I was intrigued by the seductive quality of light - as moths are drawn to flame and the moon beckons the tides, Using landscape as a metaphor for mans journey through time and worlds unseen, I search out the Luminous and its Shadows. . . ... Aondrea Maynard, 2008

San Francisco artist, Aondrea Maynard explores landscape and abstraction in these primordial works. Luminous Shadow is more than a collection of paintings; it is the hushed atmosphere arrived at in a single moment at the cusp between day and evening. Entire paintings are informed by the smallest shard of red or golden light. The surfaces are like still water lit by moonlight. Edges are diffused, inky blacks bleed into subtle grays, aqua floats beneath the upper layers of forest green.

At this point in her career, Maynard has made her presence known in the San Francisco art scene. Her dedication to process and refinement has developed her into an accomplished painter who offers a unique vision of the internal landscape.
