Deirdre Leber
Artist Statment
My paintings, synthesized from observation and imagination, are a dialogue between the seen and the remembered, the planned and the surprise that happens on the canvas. A tension is created in these images between representation and abstraction as figures appear and disappear in the fluid surfaces of water. Working with both brush and palette knife, colors are layered one over another, creating an expressive and painterly surface with a range of vibrant and subtle hues.
