through sculptural layers, heavy textures, and abstract forms, each piece becomes a physical echo of feeling–something sensed before it's understood. these surfaces are meant to be felt, even when they are only seen.

hello, i'm desiree griffith, an abstract artist based in dallas, texas. my specialty is creating highly textured abstract art. working at the intersection of painting and sculpture, i use texture as a language. cracked ridges, layered forms, and three-dimensional protrusions act as emotional terrain by capturing the way energy lingers, memory imprints, and silence speaks.
