Contemplative Works by Ali Cavanaugh Consider Vulnerability and the Sublime Through Watercolor

Through delicate washes of peach, aqua, and smoky gray, St. Louis-based artist Ali Cavanaugh (previously) renders watercolor portraits that lay her subjects’ spirits bare.

Cavanaugh paints her dreamlike works on wet clay panels, allowing the bright backdrops to illuminate the translucent pigments. The resulting works are introspective and intimate while simultaneously harnessing the universal experience of the sublime.

“Only Once” (2015), 18 x 18 inches

“One to Listen and One to Love”

“Rest on Water” (2017), 12 x 12 inches
