Artist Statement
I create paintings that hold space—physically and emotionally. Drawing on the structure of courtyards and enclosed gardens, I explore the inner self through layered surfaces and openings I think of as breathing areas—sites of rest, contemplation, and protection. Flowers, whether abstract or representational, are my visual language. They draw viewers in with their beauty while also pointing to impermanence, vitality, and the complexity of emotion. Even in my most minimal pieces, floral forms guide color, shape, and tone. Their arrangement influences how the work is perceived and experienced. Each piece reflects the internal dialogue between what we choose to express and what we choose to keep within.
Bio
Caprice McNeill is a multidisciplinary artist based in North Carolina. She studied graphic design at the College of Design at NC State University, where she developed a strong foundation in composition and visual structure. A lifelong love of gardens—and their spatial logic, containment, and sensory richness—deeply informs her practice. Studying in Italy further refined her sensitivity to color and form. McNeill’s work explores interiority, sacred space, and emotional resonance through floral imagery and architectural reference.
