Guardian Emma Godebska with strategically placed white rectangularXanda McCagg is a classically trained artist whose abstract oil, graphite, and collage works explore the subtle shifts in human relationships. Moving away from her figurative roots, she builds her canvases through an intuitive process of masking and layering, transforming geometric understructures into evocative visual metaphors. Her compositions beautifully balance formal line and space to capture the intangible, intimate essence of human experience.
