Pink Sand, 2020
Acrylic on canvas
10 x 10 in.

Her work draws from memory and emotion to remind viewers of youth, innocence and the timeless space we occupy when we are young. She creates lively and childlike characters, finding inspiration in the works of early Italian Renaissance masters such as Fra Angelico. Wilson graduated from Wellesley College in 1991, and pursued her education in Florence. She received her MFA at New York Academy of Art, and afterwards worked as a painting assistant to Jeff Koons for two years. She is also represented by the Pg Art Gallery in Istanbul.
