My goal as an artist is to arrest nature’s motion, involving viewers as deeply as I can. As I make my artwork, I leave behind traces of feelings associated with my experience of each scene; sharing my vision of beauty and grace expressed through color and form.

The experiences of life that I find to be of greatest value are those that rest in the basic and seemingly simplistic. Garden fragrances, nature's color and form, all outweigh for me the more contrived and materialistic of our life today.  I paint the landscapes, the feelings and the experiences that they create for me; the perceptions and sensations that collect as a result of a day at the shore, or under the shade of a live oak, or during weeks spent serving a residency at a National Park.  If these sensations communicate with the viewer through my work, their connection and purpose are complete.

Herbert Hoover National Historic Site Residency October 2009

My supplies and painting tools await me at the park.  They have been Fedxed in advance,   press releases have been emailed, and the anticipation begins.  I wonder what will be the focal point of my painting.  The cottage, the prairie, fall colors, or so many unknown treasures that await discovery.

Surfing the National Parks and came across your site. What a blessing. Absolutely loved the video and am passing your site on to all in my address book.

Your paintings speak from the heart. Takes my breath away. Silence is all I want around me. One would feel like they are there.

Thank You for having this website.

Congratulations
Janet Young
