RU CIEL | ARTIST
Through painting, I explore my observations of the natural world and the thoughts and feelings it evokes. While they are an expression and abstraction of internalized images, they are rooted in nature and the forms and colors of the natural world. I strive to create in my paintings, as I see in nature, a harmony between the elements of color, value, form, and composition.
The beauty and grandeur of the Western landscape, the scale and the light, are an ongoing source of inspiration as are the gardens and flowers that I tend and watch grow.
Learning to trust my intuition is a constantly evolving journey.
