THERESA ANDREAS-O'LEARY

 

ARTIST STATEMENT

The changing landscape implores my brush to document memories.  Seasonal light affects my painting process. Embedded light circles, gold metal leaf & mixed media create depth & texture. Modernistic striated layers of paint weaving ghostlike images reflect a stained glass aesthetic. Views of sacred hallowed ground in fields, open spaces and farms dotting the contoured hillsides...revealing layered soil hues, connecting me, connecting us.  Stewards of the land, revering Mother Earth, we will remain.
