| Katherine McNeill Artist's Statement |
A dedicated artist I am known for my vibrant aspen and mountain oil paintings. Trying
to make one feel and smell the mountain air as though they were walking through the
forest and feel the crunch of the quaking aspens on the ground, as you loose yourself
and feel you want to step in that place for the moment. Using many colors to paint the
aspens, I take all the surrounding reflective colors and make the trees realistic, each
having there own personality. Giving my paintings a mystical feeling to them, every
once in awhile you will even discover and angel hidden ever so delicately into the trees,
or maybe even discretely in the clouds.
Drawing much of my inspiration from repeated excursions into nature with my husband,
four-wheel driving into remote areas to capture the right time of morning or early
evening just to get the beautiful shadows, and to feel, smell the mountain air and listen to
the breeze filtering through the trees feeds my soul. I sketch and photograph with a
digital camera and my own artistic sensibilities anxious to sit down to perfect my
oil-based perspective on life. Years of painting aspen trees have in many ways been a
spiritual journey. With every stroke of my brush I try to carry my faith onto canvas to
touch some ones life and give them a sense of peace in there heart.
