Gold Wall Feature

Our May featured artist is Marty Mitchell

"While it may never have been a mission of mine to paint ‘trees, grasses, mountains, etc.,’ studying them visually makes me better able to understand my place among them. I learned fairly early on that I see my environment differently from how my male counterpart does. While men traditionally have been trained to view their environments with eyes of “manifest destiny,” exploring the wide panorama, my perspective has been acculturated through intimate spaces of home and garden, the traditional realm of women for centuries. In knowing this, I’ve become fascinated with contrasting expansive spaces with the easily over-looked, ordinary spaces I inhabit. The contrasts of vision parallel the contrasts of experiences in my life, such as the clarity of light I witnessed living at altitude with its thin air, versus the subtleness of light and the heavier air of the Midwest.  From that foundation, fascination with my place builds and grows. Capturing some of it visually helps me continue to grow and learn as well.” ...read more

"I have always thought each person looks at art bringing with them their own experiences, which governs what they see (no one should interfere with that process).  I have always felt free to work in many media and examine an image in a representational, semi-abstract, or totally abstract form. It is personally satisfying. The need to create images precedes recorded history. The drawings in the Caves of Lascaux are an example. I have that need. It doesn't bother me if someone doesn't like what I make. I would be upset if a viewer was bored by the work. I hope the people see something magical in all art in any form."
