Artist Comments
Artist Faye Vander Veer came across this sunny summer moment while traveling in San Francisco. "I was drawn to the contrast between light and shadow, and my interest in people," says Faye. "Using my understanding of light, color and value, I created visual depth, drawing the viewer into the painting and taking them on a journey down the street to the distant buildings."
About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. She describes herself as an observer of people living their day-to-day lives. Her goal is to offer viewers a look into her sensory memory while also prompting the beginning of a story. Faye always keeps her camera by her side, ready to capture reference material. "For me, each painting is an opportunity to explore my emotional reactions to the color and light I observe," says Faye. She enjoys being in her glass-walled studio surrounded by nature to inspire her creative process. When she is not putting paint on canvas, Faye can be found in nature, journaling or writing poetry. Her artwork has been showcased in both American Art Collector and Art of the West magazines.
