BIO

JOANNE GEISEL

Donna Slade
ARTIST STATEMENT
After having majored in art in college, and worked in other professions, I can now return to my love of oil painting and teaching art. Painting landscapes and the human figure directly from nature is what I enjoy most. Painting landscapes en plein air is endlessly fascinating due to the discovery of beautiful locations, the careful, constant observation that is required and the challenge of adding one's unique perspective. Drawing and painting a model, capturing his or her mood and energy through line, and color is a joyful, intriguing experience. Also, being able to teach provides another venue for personal learning, and sharing knowledge and appreciation. This combination of creating art and teaching has provided impetus for artistic growth and development.

Artist Statement:
“Most of my paintings reflect a moment in time where it is important to capture an immediate impression.  I assess the composition, the values, the proportions and color, then I paint, all the while trying to maintain the initial feeling that drew me to paint the particular landscape, person or still life. Sometimes a small painting is completed in a single day.  More often, the painting is completed in the studio. 

I refine and work on various elements while trying tenaciously to keep its freshness."
