Susan Recely Discovering the beauty in the harmony of color relationships and exploring the dynamics of atmospheric perspective, my paintings are impressions of being present with nature. Growing up in an artistic environment, my father, a commercial artist , took me on outings to museums and galleries. One trip, in a creative mood of bliss, he said to me, “Just look”. My paintings are created by using a four stage process of a double primary color pallete. I apply opaque oil paint in many layers that allow underlying layers to show through. This results in different intensities of color that change in different lighting and from different angles. More recently, I have painted with Greg Kondos in his workshops at Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. Many of my paintings are started as “plein aire”, a French term for “open air” or on-site paintings. I like to spend time with the landscape to see, feel and dialogue with the majesty of the universe.

Nan Roe My art is a study of the fast paced world of computers and the short life of plants. All these computers pieces and schulputres are a reflection of the obsolete life of the computer. Each steop in development has been fast and within a short period of time. Just compare the usre of the computer today, to what it was a short time ago. Plants are also fast growing and evolving. We are on this earth to appreciate, contribute, and enjoy these wonders. Be it the complex world of computers, that we have given human names to, or the plants that give growth and beauty for a very short period of time. I enjoy, appreciate, and watch the cycle continue. I feel a strong froce to record these steps.
