Born and raised in the Southwest, Cy Rocchi channels the connection to land forged in childhood, translating immersive experiences into tangible landscapes. Using large palette knives for application, her method includes layering, scraping, removing and blending, capturing the raw beauty of vast open spaces, and echoing memories etched in the mind.  Cy draws on her love of the outdoors to convey the freedom and fragility of our coexistence with nature. Purpose guides her process; from engagement with the natural environment, to the swift application of paint, Cy aims to encapsulate the essence of being. Through layers of cold wax and oil, she invites viewers to journey beyond the visual, to feel the pulse of the earth and find solace in its boundless depths.
