Owen’s painting style is characterized by a complex syncopation of color and marks. Whether Owen is painting the markets of Marrakesh, or the streets of Paris or the pocket gardens in Providence, she brings to her work a vital exuberance that both excites and satisfies. In these paintings, she “looks for a feeling of openness, of light and color … and to create a certain feeling of aliveness and the abundant insistent, persistence of nature.” Amidst the color and the movement, she has added a new element – dappled light filtering in to let the canvas breathe. You can almost hear the sigh.
