Loren Yagoda

Loren’s composition is intended to simplify one’s vision setting the stage for a calm environment.  She feels that color is a distraction from form and that there is a soft, ethereal feeling that one derives from the absence of color.  Her purpose is to create a peaceful mood establishing a meditative state. This provides the viewer a place to land their sight in order to achieve an absence of thought to enhance concentration. She doesn’t want her viewer to attempt to find subject matter, but rather to exist in its stillness.

Yagoda grew up in Michigan and Arizona surrounded by art in a family of collectors, designers, and architects. She currently lives near her children in Phoenix. She paints large covered spaces using textures in varying forms to create an illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface. 

“My art is about those people and paths where secrets live untold. Like the bone structure of our anatomy or the lines that create architecture, the construct of our character leaves footprints to those who have shared our time and space. My hope is that my paintings will remind you of your own history and its importance in your existence.”
