A Spell for Protection

In this series, artist Brianna Lance delves into the elusive nature of memory, dreams, and fleeting emotion—those intangible forces that quietly shape perception and self. Through her paintings, Lance gives form to what cannot be held, exploring the tension between the deeply personal and the ineffable. Each work becomes a meditation on the unseen influences that define how we experience the world. Balancing intimacy and abstraction, Lance’s compositions evoke the hazy edges of recollection and the quiet resonance of moments that linger just beyond reach. The series reflects her ongoing fascination with the inner landscape, revealing how the invisible—our feelings, dreams, and memories—can hold the greatest power to transform our understanding of reality. In the artist's words: These pieces are in direct correlation with my spiritual practice. I create to honor the communion with forces higher than myself. In the practice of that I desire to develop a community with all of the people that view, collect and experience it. I wanted to make pieces that were a direct act of service to the collector, providing them with love, protection, and hopefully prosperity in their lives. The energy becomes more direct because the intention is there in the act of creation. The blessing provided to me in the act of making can go on and be transferred to who has the painting next.
