Jackie Ellens’ Searching for Light II

A vertical composition of rare intimacy, *Searching for Light II* by Jackie Ellens moves through layers of hand-painted acrylic with the quiet urgency of light itself finding form. Gold leaf surfaces at intervals throughout the work, less ornament than revelation — catching the room's ambient glow and returning it transformed. At thirty-one inches tall and sixteen wide, the piece commands its wall without demanding it, occupying space the way a well-placed window does: purposefully, and with grace.
