Lydia Bassis is a contemporary painter based in Seattle, WA. Her abstract paintings tell stories using an invented language of shapes and symbols. Bassis uses these symbols intuitively and improvisationally to depict unseen energies of thoughts, dreams, and intuitions that hover mysteriously, yet harmoniously within contemplative backdrops.

During a time of global social distancing, these ruminative works filled with expressive imagery awaken a deep sense of wonder that offers a touch-point to the enchantments of the natural world while we temporarily stay at home.
