""Where this series really started was when I was out painting Seattle's industrial areas, and doing plein air realistic renderings. As I focused more on that industry, I got closer and closer in and it became more abstract-looking at the shapes, colors and lines.""
""For the first few in the series, I copied Bierstadt paintings, scratched in my perspective lines and put the containers in. After I'd done a few and learned the vocabulary of that luminist painting school, then I started doing my own large landscapes in that style.""
Iverson's artistic evolution involved a transition from realistic renderings of Seattle's industrial areas to abstract interpretations of shapes and colors. This journey led her to explore drawing and collage, resulting in a new series that combines her lush oil paintings with what she terms 'magazine paintings.' Influenced by the Hudson River School and artists like Bierstadt and Moran, Iverson's landscapes reflect hazy light effects and tranquility, as she travels to various locations to capture their essence through photography and sketches.
