• About Babette Wheelden

  I believe in artists inspiring artists. I incorporate learning with my artistic practice. My work is cyclical, it is born out of a combination of my education, experiences and those I educate. This allows for my perspectives as an artist to grow and expand while fusing traditional and contemporary. My art is about identity, perspective, and some subtle humor. Born in Minnesota, educated outside of Chicago, my life moved east to New England in the late 1990’s. Since moving to New England I am drawn to the landscape and environment.

  My process in creating these paintings involves pouring paint onto the canvas and working intuitively with whatever emerges. I then paint with brushes to add forms and layers. I leave the dripping paint on the sides of some of the paintings as a record of this process, like footprints in the sand.
