What Remains
Gausden's interactive landscapes and intimate figurative works are inspired by social media content and influenced by photographic techniques. Gausden's works have smooth surfaces with impasto elements and white sides, the canvases are ready to hang framed or unframed.
The artist says:
"This painting recalls my last day on Vancouver Island with my husband, wandering through East Sooke. We found a quiet cove, where moss-covered trees glowed mint green, and spent the afternoon hiking the cliffs, beachcombing for treasures, and delighting in the tangles of bull kelp along the shore." - Mel Gausden, 2025
