Rourke works in layers. She first coats wood with plaster. She then marks, incises, sands, and paints on the plastered surface. Each painting is a work in progress over an extended period of time.
Rourke's paintings are very mysterious to me. They actually remind me a lot of Joan Miró's abstract paintings from 70 years ago. I love how both artists seem to have a child-like element to their art.

I was going to say the same thing about Miro till I got to the last picture. Nice work. Thanks for finding it.
I really, really like this work. I see Miro a little in this work, but it looks like a cross between many abstract artists, yet still has it's own language.
Nice work.
