"Believing in myself to share what is borne inside."

My art celebrates the supremacy of the imagination. My paintings are about the subtle and dynamic connections of all living things. Nature is the living spring from which my images flow as I weave with my imagination.

I use a variety of mediums, each chosen to reflect the unseen, the soft edges, the light and shadow of the natural world. If we squint our eyes sometimes we can see that one thing disappears into another, with no beginning and no end. I utilize a variety of techniques and methods that, for me, uniquely communicate the subtle and dynamic connectedness of life.

My spirit speaks to me through words, stories and images. In homage to that connection, I offer these paintings and words.

“...KEEPER OF THE GATES OF WISDOM
The Sacred Chamber, in which art belongs, becomes center stage for visual artist Aline Fourier, heralding participation, color variegation softens the viewer’s eyes into momentary cognition. Artistic intention resounds within the reflective moment found: a gentle respite in our present world of “Whirl Is King.” Reflection graces Fourier’s generous reminder within a sagacious pilgrimage home...Indeed, the Sacred Chamber, a matter of the heart.”

“The Fourier Vision–
The depth of serenity required to enrich our soul to become more fully human is inherent in Fourier’s work. The vital need for a meditative view of the world found within each courageous visual act reveals her visual communication: envisions hope...replaces fear. The art becomes a gentle offering.”
