"Windows"

8"x10" Framed Photographic Image

Limited Edition 1/10

Apart from being a depiction of one of the artist's favorite places in the world, Les Halles, Paris, this piece shows the reflections on the side of a mirrored building. The way the buildings are distorted and almost look like they're reflected in water is intriguing and gives the image a whimsical and dream like quality. The altered colors illustrate this feeling.

About the Artist:

At age 16, Roberta was taught by artist Ian Murphy at her local high school in Standish, England. He helped her realize her interest in the simple pleasure of mixing and blending colors of paint. It was in Dundee, Scotland years later, while at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, that she embraced the idea of combining different views within one composition. She used the computer to aid her sketching process of layering photographs and sketches of views, people, objects, and places. By re-creating these layers, rhythms of color and light were formed across the canvas, enhanced by the texture of various applications of paint.

Today her paintings represent the emotions evoked by the objects within her compositions. These emotions stem from the power of light (and therefore dark) and its control over her views, both externally and internally, of the life around her and how all our eyes and minds make sense of an object through light and color.
