Artist’s Statement NIGHT AND DAY Night-time sets the stage for many of my paintings in this show. Darkness creates a new world. Instead of focusing on the exterior, you are drawn into the interior, given a glimpse of what is happening inside. The lights become interesting shapes. They change the colors of the interiors and only partially illuminate the outdoor spaces. After seeing the Edward Hopper Exhibit in Chicago last year, I began to look at familiar scenes in Madison in a new way and decided to do a series of urban night-time paintings. I was inspired to do the first two paintings when dining with friends one evening at their condo off the square. We went out on the balcony. Looking down, I could see endless possibilities developing on the sidewalk and streets below. Sometimes people hurried in anticipation of the night ahead; sometimes a cashier appeared alone in the night. Everywhere short stories were unfolding. I was amazed at the variety of colors produced by the street lights, store lights and interior lights. They illuminated each scene, almost as if on stage. Dagny Quisling Myrah |

ARTIST Statement
The work is in the carving assemblage tradition with the added pleasure of applying paint on wood. There is a concern with sculptural form and painting the work as if it were a canvas. The figures are based on dreams, reality and imagination. There is not a lot of concern with accurate depiction but more an attempt to describe grace and spirit. |

Artist Statement Ecologies: Nature & Nurture
Klebesadel’s paintings will offer the viewer aesthetic encounters aimed at connecting them with the sensual essence of nature, with the aim of encouraging a sense of care and connection with the natural world that leads to action. Helen knows that our deepest connections are developed through direct contact with nature, but contends that art can ‘re-present’ nature and evoke a desire to experience more of the outside world. Her paintings subjects will include the amazing lace made by winter branches against a cold blue sky: the casual erotic of some wildflowers; the ever-watchful presence of the birds; the plight of bees, and the interdependence of species in healthy ecosystems. The paintings are created as a lure to remind of our personal connections to nature, understanding that the more we love something the less likely we are to allow it to be destroyed. |

My passion for creating art took hold in my early teens when my drawing and mixed media work won awards in national student-art competition. My creative interests shifted to photography during my twenties and my photographs were sold nationally. Dave Tilton |
