Wild
Embracing the Power in our Emotions
Wild is a raw and expressive body of work exploring emotional sovereignty, transformation, and the unapologetic act of owning one’s inner truth. This collection was created during a period marked by upheaval, clarity, and rising self trust. Each painting in Wild carries the unmistakable pulse of someone reclaiming their voice and choosing their own path with conviction. These works are not quiet. They are alive, instinctual, and charged with the courage required to become fully oneself.
The Collection
Wild moves through a striking range of color stories and emotional registers. Some pieces hold thick tangles of yellow, cobalt, and graphite, with marks that feel urgent and electric. Others explore deep violets, burning reds, and flashes of bright pink, carrying the heat of anger transmuted into momentum. There are works that sit in a different register altogether, offering a grounded clarity through calm neutrals and wide open spaces.
Together these paintings form a landscape of reclamation.
Set Free, Nothing Held Back, and Activation show the early sparks of defiance breaking through heaviness.
No One Is Coming to Save You, The Only Way Out Is Through, and Stop Hiding Your Gifts speak to the moment responsibility returns inward and agency rises.
Pieces like Embracing Rage, Set Fire to My Forest, and My Give A F*cks Are on Vacation capture the catharsis that comes when self-preservation becomes non-negotiable.
Other works, including Creation Blossoms Out of Nothing and The Shape of Yes, reveal what emerges once the fire has cleared space: vision, clarity, and the invitation to step into something larger.
The collection includes multiple featured works recognized by arts publications.
Creation Blossoms Out of Nothing appeared in Artist Close Up Magazine.
The Shape of Yes was featured on the cover of Visual Art Journal.
Meaning and Intention
Wild is not about chaos. It is about precision of feeling. These paintings capture the emotional intelligence that rises when pretense falls away. The title refers not to recklessness, but to the original self that emerges when all external expectations dissolve. These works were made from instinct, intuition, and the insistence that a life built from honesty will always hold more integrity than one built from fear.
The brushwork embodies this belief. Large gestural strokes, open fields of color, and spontaneous shifts in direction mirror the lived experience of transformation. Each painting holds the momentum of choosing truth over comfort, clarity over avoidance, and self leadership over waiting for rescue. Wild stands as a testimony to the strength required to burn down what no longer fits and to rise in the space that remains.
The Works
Wild contains more than twenty paintings that move through rupture, release, and reformation.
Some are declarations.
Some are thresholds.
Some are quiet recognitions that the person emerging on the other side is stronger, clearer, and far more aligned than the one who entered.
Every piece carries an energetic imprint of the moment it was created. They speak to viewers who have walked through similar terrain, those who understand what it means to choose themselves without apology.

CURATORIAL STATEMENT
Wild presents a series of paintings created at the height of personal transformation, where the emotional terrain was neither softened nor filtered. Instead, these works hold the immediacy of lived experience and the tension between rupture and renewal. Through bold chromatic choices, expansive gestures, and a refusal to dilute emotional truth, the collection examines what becomes possible when the self is no longer constrained by expectation.
Margaret Lipsey’s brushwork in Wild is decisive and unrestrained. The surfaces reveal a dynamic interplay between instinct and intention, often beginning in turbulence and resolving into clarity. The layered marks reflect the process of confronting internal narratives and choosing self authority over inherited patterns. The collection moves from the edge of emotional disruption into a new kind of order, one shaped by agency and honesty rather than fear.
Across the series, moments of raw expression coexist with moments of striking compositional control, highlighting the complexity of personal liberation. The paintings challenge the viewer to consider the cost of conformity, the necessity of emotional fire, and the quiet resolve that follows a period of rupture. Wild is not simply a documentation of upheaval. It is a study in self possession and the power of reclaiming one’s inner landscape.
This collection resonates with audiences who recognize the terrain of becoming, who have walked through their own fires and emerged sharper, clearer, and more aligned. Wild stands as a curatorial exploration of emotional sovereignty, marking a pivotal period in Lipsey’s evolving body of work.
