Collection: Abby K. Brown

I paint with oil to capture the magic and innocence of childhood, often through the lens of stories and whimsical fantasy. My work is inspired by the belief that we all carry within us an inner child that needs nurturing and care. Whether young or old, we all need a bit of gentle light in our lives—something that my art aims to provide.

Growing up in the Pennsylvania countryside, I remember endless summer days that have left an indelible mark on my memories. These experiences influence my work, which often reflects a nostalgic, dream-like atmosphere that invites the viewer into a world of wonder and possibility.

I work alla prima, emphasizing a fresh and spontaneous approach to each piece. Bold brushstrokes and vivid colors are central to my process, bringing life to the canvas and imbuing my paintings with an energetic, lively quality. Through this method, I seek to evoke a sense of joy, innocence, and the timeless beauty of childhood, encouraging viewers of all ages to reconnect with that sense of wonder.
