Originally working in ceramics, Chloe Hougan has expanded her art practices to include pattern-based acrylic painting. 

 “I want to tell everyone who dreams about being a painter there are a lot of ways to make truly passionate art.”

Hougan uses a book of her original patterns and color references in order to make choices as she develops paintings, section by section. Often working in layers of acrylic paint and paint marker, Hougan’s mark-making is both intentional and fluid, creating whimsical, bold compositions radiating with vibrant energy. 

“I, as a person with autism, use art to express my feelings and locked up emotions. I love color and pattern. It helps my spinning world stand still.”
