Ms. Brooking, who has lived in Maine since 1997, majored in fine art at Hiram College and began painting again 12 years ago, after working as a graphic designer for 20 years.</span></span></p>

My visual process is one of reduction rather than embellishment. I use the least amount of detail necessary to express what I feel are essential truths, both about actual places and the interactions of color, texture and form within them. Using these basic elements, I constantly test the balance between representation and abstraction; forming visual spaces that the viewer may enter both mentally and intuitively.&#8221;</span></span></p>
