Surrounded by lush gardens and challenged and inspired by new creative relationships, her studio practice flourished. Her work became even more ambitious and expansive. Executed in an increasingly bold palette, the works from this period exemplify Mitchell's nuanced mastery of composition, scale, and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication not only showcases Mitchell's large-scale abstract works but also includes numerous smaller paintings and a selection of archival materials.

Her inventive reinterpretation of the traditional figure-ground relationship and synesthetic use of colour set her apart from her peers, resulting in intuitively constructed and emotionally charged compositions that alternately evoke individuals, observations, places, and points in time.
