ARTIST STATEMENT

Artist Statement

 

Painting landscapes has been a gratifying art expression for centuries. Personally, I have found landscape painting to be an excellent way to illustrate my appreciation of nature and my commitment to art. My artwork is inspired by
many experiences, biking in rural Dane County, hiking and skiing in the mountains, and view our prairie and garden. Expressing my love of nature and sharing this love with others through my painting, gives me great pleasure. To use a current phase - " It is my passion !" In this show, the images of nature are taken a step beyond reality as they are modified by my imagination. I have accomplished this through color, texture, and strong contrasts of light and dark whether it is a broad landscape with a dramatic sky or a small detail of a flower. I hope that in viewing my work you will find an image with which you can identify.
