Star Galler about her art; "The creation of my art is both my greatest pleasure and most intense torture. The desire for perfection can be almost too much to suffer, but then there is a moment in painting more rewarding than any I have ever experienced: the moment when the very thing you are painting suddenly takes on a life and actually seems to look back at you. And even better, it is incredible to watch a viewer develop an intimate relationship with the subject in my painting that has nothing to do with myself as the artist. I live for those moments."

Amazing skill in all of these works, but I find it hard to connect. Is it just me?
ReplyDeleteI agree. The skill is there. It's the conventions (like the photos taped to the backgrounds) that the Trompe L'oeil artist use that make it kind of "been there seen that."
