Courtney Brooke's photographic narrative weaves spirit and mystery into the New England landscape. Half muttered incantations echo through the hills. She's one of my oldest and dearest friends and truly an inspiration!

"An artist must paint not what he sees in nature, but what is there. To do so he must invent symbols, which, if properly used, make his work seem even more real than what is in front of him." -Charles Burchfield

▂ Joan Mitchell ▂
On my recent trip to New York, I discovered the work of Joan Mitchell while staying in the building Joan's studio use to be in on Saint Marks Place. Her paintings amaze me! Klaus Kertess said it best:
“She transformed the gestural painterliness of Abstract Expressionism into a vocabulary so completely her own that it could become ours as well. And her total absorption of the lessons of Matisse and van Gogh led to a mastery of color inseparable from the movement of light and paint. Her ability to reflect the flow of her consciousness in that of nature, and in paint, is all but unparalleled.”
