AMSLER'S GRID SERIES These paintings are explorations of the emotive properties of color based on the Amsler Grid, a simple 4-quadrant classic grid which is used to test the macula, the very central part of the retina used for color discrimination.  Here is the Amsler Grid: An Amsler grid is a useful tool for monitoring central visual field. It is an important way to detect early and sometimes subtle visual changes in a variety of macular diseases such as macular degeneration. It is also helpful in monitoring changes in vision once they have been detected. If you are interested in learning more about the artist’s intention with these paintings, please email her directly.
