Wynne Hayakawa’s current works are based on glimpses of trees taken with a moving camera at slow shutter speeds. Starting with archival prints, Hayakawa adds layers of paint, changing and simplifying the composition. Her painting is an evolving process—an interplay of color, light, pattern, and space.
Hayakawa lives and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and most of her images come from natural areas in California. She hopes that the paintings enable the viewer to stop and breathe for a moment among the trees.
