When Ivancich returned to California, it was to the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains where she painted in her garage enjoying the high desert surrounds, listening to the wind and the sound of raven’s wings flapping overhead. About her paintings she wrote: “Each is a response to the moment, the relentless wind stirring things up in my garage where I paint, the changing light coming through the door and window, the sound of birds having what seems to be serious dialog, or nothing more than the earlier layers of paint I’m about to add to. An ongoing intention is to mix chance and deliberation to achieve an appearance of effortlessness. I am energized by the challenge to join these fractured moments of time and layering into one painting.”
