About My Work
My paintings open pathways into transformation and the unseen, inviting a felt experience of spirit and becoming. Rooted in the feminine source of creation, they are meant to be felt as much as seen, holding space for the meeting of inner and outer worlds.
I paint with layered acrylics, intuitive movement, and symbolic imagery. Within this process, chaos and order coexist, shadow and light, grounding and transcendence. Each piece begins in stillness, then unfolds through color, gesture, and inner guidance. For me, painting is both surrender and declaration, a living conversation with the divine, the earth, and the energy that connects them.
Intention weaves through every stage of creation. A quiet current charges each work with presence, inviting balance and healing. Some paintings root in the natural world, while others rise from spiritual depths. All pulse with paradox, both visible and invisible, personal and universal.
Color is a living force in my practice. It awakens clarity, stirs emotion, and opens pathways of connection between body, spirit, and memory. From this devotion, forms emerge. Nature and symbolism rise beside abstraction, shaped by cycles of motherhood, lived experience, and time with the land.
Each collection reveals a facet of a larger vision, guiding us back to emotional wisdom, spiritual depth, and creative truth.
About the Artist
Darcy Lee Saxton is a visual artist whose paintings hold both strength and softness. They move between the grounded and the transcendent, the fierce and the nurturing.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she now lives and creates in Southern Utah with her husband and two children. She holds a B.A. in Art Education and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction and has been exhibiting her work since 2005. While her studies gave her a strong foundation, her deepest growth has come from her own voice and lived experience.
Her work has been exhibited across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West and is held in collections nationally and abroad. Select pieces are available through the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture’s Art Source program and through venues in Southern Utah.
Alongside her studio practice, Darcy shares her love of art through workshops and community settings, where she nurtures space for authentic expression and creative connection.
