"This exhibit represents fascination. First with words, making them look as they mean by choice of color, placement and script. Second, explosions of color as shown by the Hubble Space telescope. Infrared images that inspired me to try to capture these 'moments in time' that were no more immediately after they were attained, as nothing remains static in deep space." - Maureen Squires

Her work consists primarily of “painting letters and words”. Maureen enjoys interpreting the words of others or simply experimenting with the abstract forms of the alphabet in many historical and contemporary styles Her tools range from traditional steel nibs, pointed and flat brushes to reeds, bamboo and as she puts it, “anything that writes."  She writes with ink, liquid acrylic, gouache, Japanese watercolors and acrylic paint. She doesn’t limit her work to the alphabet and enjoys forays into landscape painting and colorful abstracts.
