ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice is rooted in the deep connection between natural cycles and the human emotional landscape, exploring themes of grief, transformation, and renewal. My paintings are developed through a dynamic process of layering, which involves mark-making, revealing, and obscuring. This continuous building and un-building of the canvas allows each piece to accumulate a textured history that mirrors the expression of emotion.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tammi Longsjo attended a creative retreat in 2023 that rekindled her art-making passion, and she is now flourishing as a mixed-media artist. Tammi takes much of her inspiration from being outdoors, and her works include imagery of flowers, seed pods, fungi, and fauna from the Arizona desert where she spent her youth and the urban neighborhoods of Chicago she now calls home.
