"Reflections"

The image enters the mind through the eyes,

then travels from the mind to the heart, where it transcends into the art you create,

leaving reflections to fill the hearts and minds of others who follow...

Bio: In my travels, I have been moved by vivid images that I have encountered, whether it be children at play, the vast waters of the oceans, an embrace between parent and child. I take these images and create vivid glimpses into the many facets of life. Many of my paintings have focused on children, from happy times to pensive moments to altered realities due to trauma. My goal is to create paintings that are highly emotive, taking the observer's reactions inward as they explore their own response to the subjects portrayed.

Meet Artist Sandra Campbell

SANDRA CAMPBELL

 

I love color and experimentation.  My subjects include landscapes, florals, still life and animals.  Initially, I worked only with soft pastels but since have branched out into collage, sometimes utilizing watercolor, ink or acrylic to create mixed media pieces.  This year, all the pieces entered into the Spring Obsession Open Division are in this category. 

 

Mixed media pieces utilize watercolor paper, matboard, canvasses, or wooden boards.  Many of my collage pieces are fabricated from rice or similar-type papers, which come in a variety of textures. Some of these are hand painted to achieve just the right color combinations.  Other pieces utilize papers out of discarded picture books or atlases.

Landscapes are created both from my own photographs and by working plein air with fellow artists in a group that meets twice monthly for critique and support.  Many of the finished products are featured at an annual art show sponsored by the Amador County Artists Association (ACAA). I also participate in the ACAA program Art in Public Places, through which member artists show their work in local businesses.

Currently, I am teaching a beginning class in collage for adults through the Amador County Arts Council.  Membership in the ACAA and the Arts Council provides collegial support as does my informal art group.  My work is on display at the Sutter Creek Gallery at 40 Main Street, Sutter Creek.  View additional images on my website at www.sandracampbellart.com and the gallery’s website, www.suttercreekgallery.com.

O-016 Gone in 60 Seconds by Donna Wayman-Maurer oil 24x36 $3000

 Donna was born in Flint, Michigan and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. Donna finally settled in Central California. Wanting to paint out of the box paintings that feel good and that take your breath away with color that vibrates with every brush stroke. Donna’s paintings have won many awards and recognitions. Her works have been reproduced as posters, movie posters, signed and numbered prints, giclees, t-shirts and murals.  Donna’s work is very versatile and she never limits herself. The world is a beautiful place and she wants to see and paint as much of it as she can. Painting has always been my therapy. I was a very shy child and my art was my only way to communicate. It was the only thing that made me feel special. That’s why I think art is so important for children. It gives them self confidence and a way to express themselves. As a mother of three I know how art has helped my children. Art is an essential part of our lives. Art recorded our history before there was a written language. Art is a part of every culture. It’s what makes us all unique. That is why we need to teach art in schools and at home and to encourage our children’s creativity. Teach a child to love art and you will teach a child to really see and love the world.
