Terry Ekasala’s paintings are alive with movement, emotion, and intuition. Her work captures the restless energy of painting itself, the physicality of gesture, the fluid play of color, and the tension between chaos and control. Each canvas becomes a living space where thought and feeling merge, and where the act of painting is both exploration and revelation.

Rooted in the legacy of expressive abstraction, Ekasala works instinctively, allowing form and rhythm to emerge through layers of experimentation. Her marks appear spontaneous, yet they hold a deep sense of balance and purpose. The result is painting as a conversation, between the artist and her materials, between past and present, between the outer world and the inner self.

Ekasala’s practice is one of persistence and curiosity. Working daily, she approaches her studio as a site of discovery, attentive to the subtle shifts of emotion and perception that occur through color and gesture. Her paintings, while abstract, carry a human pulse, they evoke memory, movement, and connection.

Riding Through reflects an artist in full stride, riding through sensation, thought, and time. It celebrates painting as an ever-renewing act of seeing and feeling, a reminder that to paint, for Ekasala, is to live.

Terry Ekasala lives and works in Vermont, USA.
