About the Item

Miriam Sweeney (Filipino-American, born 1965) "La Vie en Rose" 2024 Acrylic paint and mixed media on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom left corner of the painting. Framed Dimensions: 25.5" x 25.5" x 1.75" “Sausalito I” is a richly textured contemporary aerial landscape painting, inspired by the coastal town of Sausalito, CA. Viewed from an aerial perspective, the composition transforms the town’s winding streets, shoreline, and layered geography into a vibrant network of flowing forms and raised pathways. Thick, sculptural acrylic lines trace the city’s infrastructure, while pools of deep blue, soft teal, warm red, and ivory evoke water, land, and movement. Sweeney’s signature technique builds the surface into a tactile relief, blurring the line between painting and topography. The work captures both the order of mapping and the organic rhythm of lived space, revealing how places evolve through time and human presence. Both graphic and expressive, “Sausalito I” functions as a visual map and an emotional portrait of place. About the Artist: Miriam Sweeney is a San Francisco–based contemporary artist whose work transforms city maps into layered abstract paintings that reveal the hidden histories embedded within urban landscapes. Inspired by aerial perspectives and cartographic systems, Sweeney explores the tension between order and chaos, examining what maps record, what they omit, and what lives beneath the surface of the city. Working primarily in acrylic, Sweeney builds textured compositions through successive layers of paint, each representing different moments in time unfolding within the same geography. Her flowing, curvilinear forms evoke streets, intersections, and the pulse of urban life, creating visual palimpsests where past and present coexist. At its core, her work celebrates community, interconnectedness, and the shared human histories that shape cities as living, evolving organisms. Sweeney’s paintings give viewers an experience to view the world from above, offering a moment of reflection and wonder as patterns emerge and connections reveal themselves. Her work encourages a deeper awareness of how urban spaces are formed, inhabited, and continually redefined through human connection.
