Jeannie Sellmer "Short Story 1" Oil on Board

Based out of New Mexico, Jeannie Sellmer is an abstract and landscape painter. Her medium is oil on board. When creating her paintings her guiding elements are color, value, shape and texture which evoke both a sense of energy and contemplation. Her paintings invite the viewer to engage in the visual field with a sense of meandering exploration and open interpretation.

The evolution for her paintings is derived from six ideas; color combinations, geometric forms, nature, music, memories and sensations. She brings all of these elements into her paintings through a layering technique. Each layer changes the painting but leave traces of what was originally there.

Her overall approach is to be spontaneous, working the surface while creating an interplay of sublet transitions of color and texture resulting in a complex and nuanced surface of color harmony and balance.

Addie Draper - "Bosque Fall Tree"

A new artist to occasions! Addie Draper who also lives in New Mexico on forty acres of land. Her focus is landscape and after many years of working with pastels she is exploring oils. She is intrigued by the possiblities for texture and expressive movements with oil.

Her inspiration is based from potent moments in her life usually occuring in solitude. She is also inspired by magnificent views of broad landscapes as well as beautiful close ups of a tiny section of the world. The textural qualities of oil paints lead to the beautiful richness of expression that she uses to help translate the experience of a place.

In her work she tries to creat poetry versus a direct representation, suggesting rather than stating. Overall she wants the viewer to take away their own interpretations to create their own narrative.
