{"id":215,"count":13,"description":"Melissa Mahoney is an abstract painter whose work features dynamic, circular brushstrokes expressing balance and tension. Mahoney is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic, especially the ens\u014d, a Japanese word meaning \u201ccircle\u201d that symbolizes strength and enlightenment. While an ens\u014d is traditionally drawn in one continuous stroke, Mahoney creates her circles with multiple brushstrokes and calls them Vortices. Mahoney\u2019s work is in national and international collections.","link":"https:\/\/sbfatrunkshow.com\/artist\/melissa-mahoney\/","name":"Melissa Mahoney","slug":"melissa-mahoney","taxonomy":"artist","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbfatrunkshow.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/215"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbfatrunkshow.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbfatrunkshow.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/artist"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbfatrunkshow.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?artist=215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
