She studied graphic design in art school before earning her BFA with a major in painting. Raised in Hawai‘i, she was drawn early to the relationships between color, form, and atmosphere, sensitivities that would later inform both her design career and her studio practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\"\u003eBefore turning fully toward painting, Calie worked in branding and advertising as an art director, designer, and strategist in New York and San Francisco. She led creative teams and crafted cohesive visual systems across web, mobile, and print. During this time, she partnered with renowned clients including Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Ogilvy \u0026amp; Mather, and Landor Associates. This background refined her approach to composition, structure, and visual clarity, elements that now underpin the disciplined yet expansive nature of her abstract work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--black\"\u003eIn 2021, Calie moved back to O‘ahu with her husband and two children.

Not a single moment, but the accumulation of intention, pressure, and life choosing to move. It invites sustained looking, allowing the eye to travel, pause, and return, revealing new rhythms over time.  - Calie Durant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Calie Durant","offers":[{"title":"28\" h x 22\" w","offer_id":46411294671047,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5930\/1204\/files\/calie-durant-momentum-silo-hawaii-art-photograph.jpg?v=1776207582","url":"https:\/\/tiffanysartagency.com\/products\/momentum-by-calie-durant","provider":"Tiffany's Art Agency","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
