On Water’s Edge, Deb Komitor, Gouache
Artist Statement
“Pay Attention. Be astonished. And tell about it.” Mary Oliver
I am a heart centered artist with a deep connection and emotional ties to nature. I feel the trees as they bend in the wind and as they vibrate with awakening energy in the spring. On quiet warm summer days, I feel their shadows loving embrace. Nature provides multiple metaphors for how we live our lives. My work shows the complimentary of opposites, the calm and the chaos, the joy, and the sadness, the dark and the light, but always hope. My vision is to awaken in people the awe, wonder, and healing powers of a walk in the woods. I paint what I’ve loved since childhood — tall trees, fallen trees, creeks, trails and sometimes the creatures of the forest. All seen through the eyes and expressed through the heart.
