Notes |
ARTIST STATEMENT: 'After moving to the mountains in 1965, I turned from doing Non-Objective and abstract paintings to landscape simply because of being surrounded by visual feasts in all directions. Seasonal changes and time of day lighting offer endless potentials and constant challenges. How to say the most with the least is primary. I am not an innovator, I am an observer.' - Gennie DeWeese |
