Salli is a prominent artist in the Houston art scene. She has taught abstract art for over 30 years.
Salli Babbitt is a recognized midlife abstract expressionist residing in the Houston Bay Area. Basing Babbitt’s work on the essence of her surrounding environment, she relies on layering lacquered luminosity of colors. Her art offers more iridescent expression through depth of color and layering the paint while exploring her response.
Highly sensual in nature, the larger abstract patterns of color, burst with brightening light and figurative language in the forefront. Her abstract expressionist roots reveal a figurative language that discloses what was formerly unknown. A sustained view draws you into the paintings’ visual properties of the natural environment; from waters, fields, and vegetation. Fresh hues, glazes, and tactile layers build upon each other, increasing the intensity of my illuminated palette.
The technique is apparent in how each painting is capable of standing on its own merits, and yet, they comprise a singular vision of luminosity. These are interactive and delicious paintings that should be explored and savored by the viewer.
