"Although I've worked in many different mediums, my favorite
medium is pastel. Because pastel isn't mixed on a palette before
applying it to the surface, it teaches you about color
relationships by juxtaposing different hues that you might not
ordinarily mix. It's a wonderful medium."
"My favorite subject is the landscape. Everything in nature is a
reflection of the attributes of our Creator. I try to share that
through my art to enable others to experience the magnificent
wonder of our world. I like to refer to my work as visual
meditations." - Barbara Curry |
