“This is a view of nature, respectful and devoid of sentimentality, yet full of tenderness and the regenerative power of truth..” —Curator Josine Ianco-Starrels

In praise of the natural world, oil painter Judy Weiner captures the essence of the environment in rural Southern Oregon. Her canvases are superbly-developed, built in layer after layer of textures in muted palettes, and reveal both the innocence and majesty of the world about us. Her greatest influence and driving motivation comes from her love for, and research into, the techniques of 17th Century Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
