Night Bloom:

The concept of "Home" and its associations often guide Wilson’s practice. This interest frequently led her back to her original home of Montana, its culture, landscape, heritage, and her parents, each having a strong influence on her art making. Wilson is drawn to the natural world, its vastness, its beauty, and its hues of greens, yellows, browns, and the bright colors of wildflowers.

Night Bloom was inspired by Wilson’s love of patterns and textiles and the complex relationships and evolution between conventional/structured practices and environments (physical and psychological) and those of a dissenting and organic nature. Visually this has translated into the intersections and historical contexts between fine art, design, architecture, and traditional crafts. The landscape of Night Bloom is a fantastical flourish of colors, shapes, and textures that aims to give viewers the same experience of magical awe that one has in the Big Sky country.
