Pochinski’s paintings have been exhibited at JJ Murphy, NYC, Dolby Chadwick Gallery, SF, and Beers London. She received her BFA from University of Hawaii 1991. Her work has appeared in The Paris Review, Huffington Post, and The American Scholar.
"I approach painting not as a linear narrative, but as a kind of alchemical process. Transforming sensation, memory, and emotional residue into form. The figure becomes a vessel for something larger: a psychological state, or the tension between internal and external worlds.
In an era obsessed with clarity, curation, and fixed identity, I’m drawn to the unstable, the ambivalent. My paintings explore how bodies hold private logic and resist being easily read. They exist between stasis and motion. I’m interested in what painting can still do that no other medium can: invoke presence, collapse time, and make visible the invisible."
