Esther Marie’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in an exploration of nature’s cyclical transformations and the profound interconnection between humanity and the environment. She views the elements water, earth, and sky as fundamental forces that bind us to the natural world, and her works reflect this symbolic relationship through abstracted movements and the evocation of the essence of the surrounding environment.

A key aspect of Esther Marie’s creative process is her continuous exploration of the diverse landscapes of New York, Long Island, and many more locations. This engagement with varies climates and spatial dynamics fosters a rich, ongoing investigation about the natural world. Her work evolves through these explorations, as she absorbs and organizes her sensory experiences, translating them into visual forms. She embraces a multimedia approach, using drawing as the primary conduit to bridge the visual richness of nature but also its underlying rhythms and patterns.

Each body of work represents a unique interpretation of the subject’s transformative qualities, as Esther Marie seeks to convey the essence of nature’s perpetual flux. Line, a recurring motif in her art, serve as symbolic markers of movement and flow, charting the cyclical changes within the natural world. In certain series, these lines trace paths that echo the continuous and dynamic process of growth, decay, and renewal that define the landscape.

Esther Marie characterizes her artwork as an “obscured representation,” as each piece begins with a representational image that is subsequently altered through a process of manipulating across various mediums. This approach, moving between abstraction and impressionism, with each work emerging as a complex interplay of form, texture, and rhythm. These notions and transformations form the foundation of both her abstract and impressionistic works, where the physical landscape is not merely depicted but reinterpreted in a manner that reflects both its visible reality and its deeper, often unseen forces.
