Growing up in Vermont, the outdoors was a calming, reflective, and often mystical space for Nola Parker. The feeling of connectedness with nature has always been a driving force in her life and work. Photographs act as anchoring references for her colorful, acrylic landscapes. While Parker's work can be viewed as an exploration and celebration of the natural world, it also functions as an outlet through which she defines herself. Through her surroundings, she feels out the boundaries of her existence, the spaces that contain and form her unique personal geography. Working with themes of home, belonging, and healing, the landscape offers itself up as a mirror, revealing truths about ourselves and the world around us. Influenced by memory and experience, she aims to create a universe that is both fantastical and familiar, picturing a place not through strict realism, but through its personality, mood, or feeling. Parker is captivated by both the detail and variety of the natural landscape as well as the suburban spaces where nature and human society converge in a strange dance of balance, submission, or dominance.
