Maya Rosenberg will be painting a large and brightly coloured landscape to communicate the delight that passersby bring to the world, as part of the Artists in the Window series at Yukon Artists @ Work from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.

Rosenberg will be drawing from the experience of painting where other people can see her, and where she can see them.

She plans to exhibit other landscapes and colour wheels in the other window, part of some new styles of work that she hasn’t shown yet.

Through hues and value, and drawing from the beautiful and inspiring and momentary small moments, Rosenberg will seek out the little “nuggets” she observes in daily life and put them into the landscape.

She will also draw from the opinions and perspectives of visitors to the gallery.

Rosenberg will include text in the painting surface as well, approaching the handwriting itself as colour, line and texture, to communicate the feeling she’s after.

In addition to English, Rosenberg will draw from her other language, Hebrew, which uses a different alphabet, with more rounded forms.

For her, the challenge will include communicating these things with colour, and working in a scale larger than usual for her.

When Rosenberg looks back at her various projects, she sees they share the common passion of being focused on community and education, with colour at their heart.

She hopes her painting will show the light in the community in a variety of ways.

Exactly how this will do so will depend how the process goes.

“I want it to be seen by people so they can realize that they are inspiring someone else even if they’re not aware of it, they have a lot of value they bring to the table whether they see it or not,” Rosenberg said.

As a guest artist to Yukon Artists @ Work, she said she is thrilled to be part of The Artist in the Window series.

For her to appear as one of the artists in the context of this series inspires her, she said.

She is in particular a fan of the work of Janet Patterson, who will be working in the window the following week.

She sees their work as helping her “sculpt her own voice more clearly.”

You can find out more about Rosenberg’s work on her website, https://www.mayaart.ca/giving-back, and on her social media, @mayaart2, and #maya.art.

Patterson’s new series of assembled sculptures, called Five Easy Pieces, will be in the window starting June 21.

The Artists in the Window series continues until July 16, but artists demonstrate in the window year-round.
