About My Work
My paintings explore the intersection of spirituality, emotion, and the feminine source of creation. Through layered acrylic techniques, intuitive movement, and symbolic imagery, I create work that is meant not only to be seen, but deeply felt.
Each piece begins in stillness and unfolds through a process of listening to color, gesture, and the unseen. I approach the canvas as a collaborator, allowing forms to emerge through spontaneous mark-making and presence. For me, painting is a conversation with the divine, the earth, and the energy that connects them.
Color plays a vital role in my process. I treat it as a living presence that awakens, heals, and transforms when allowed to move through us. Its resonance creates space for emotional clarity and spiritual connection.
Themes of healing, transformation, and the sacred feminine flow through my work. While rooted in abstraction, I often weave in symbolic and nature-based forms shaped by motherhood, spiritual practice, and time with the land. My body of work moves through five collections: Womb of Light, Becoming, Threaded, Sacred Ground, and LeViv Family Studio. Each reflects a different facet of this ongoing exploration. My intention is to create work that reconnects us to emotional wisdom, spiritual depth, and creative truth.
About the Artist
Darcy Lee Saxton is a visual artist whose work explores the intersection of emotion, spirit, and the feminine source of creation. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she now lives and creates in Southern Utah with her husband and two children.
Darcy holds a B.A. in Art Education and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. She has been professionally creating and teaching since 2005, though both art and teaching have been a part of her life since childhood. As a young girl, she began signing her work with her middle name, Darcy Lee, a signature she still uses today.
Her paintings have been exhibited in Washington, Oregon, and Utah, and can be found in private collections around the U.S. and beyond. Select pieces are also available through the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture’s Art Source program and at local venues in Southern Utah.
In addition to her studio practice, Darcy is a dedicated art educator who believes deeply in the power of art to heal, awaken, and reconnect. She teaches at MakeSpace, a community-building art studio in the Kayenta Art Village, and finds joy in helping others return to their creative voice, whether in the classroom or through private workshops.
