Hayal Pozanti's exhibition, "Pleasures Newly Found", showcases her twelve whorling paintings created through a tactile process of finger-painting. Since moving to Vermont five years ago, her artistic approach emphasizes direct engagement with the canvas, utilizing oil sticks to enhance richness in her nature-themed pieces. Her experiences in Vermont have also influenced her color palette, revealing new greens and blues. Pozanti's innovative style emerged during her MFA studies at Yale, aiming to alter viewer perceptions of art encountered online. She has received notable recognition, exhibiting globally and participating in prestigious events like the Gwangju Biennale.

"I thought, 'OK, I need to interject this feed with something that has never been seen before,' so I need to make new shapes. I did a lot of research, and I found a method that worked for me."
