Sarah B. McCann

Portals, Pathways, and Potentials are a series of paintings that examine crossing into a new space, the things that change us, and where we may end up. This series has roots in earlier work from the artist that sparked comments by viewers about the recurring themes of portals. In this new series portals again emerged as a theme and visual pattern. What experiences change us? What thresholds do we cross that change our lives physically and metaphorically? During the time the portal paintings were in progress McCann also visited the southwest for the first time and hiked in canyons, along rivers, and through landscapes that she had not experienced before. The experience of this new place was transformational and the paintings created after the experience spoke to moving between different spaces, places, and parts of life.
