In Gestalt, Ehlers continues to build on her recurring theme of piecing together fragments of images, abstract shapes, words, and figurative elements to creative a personal narrative. Ehlers narrative is one based on the desire to welcome change in pursuit of embracing what is missingfrom our busy lives; optimism, empowerment and courage. The story, which develops prior to beginning the physical process, acts as a spark and propels the work forward, serving as a compass to guide each painting through the different chapters.
