"Water #6"
2008; oil on panel; 16x16
Artist Statement: "I work from direct observation because I am inspired by sublime moments in nature. Working from direct observation allows me to open up a direct connection between my eyes and my hand, and work with an intuitive response, bypassing my conscious thought-making. Only when I stop am I able to “see” what I have done. Painting from nature allows me to have one hand in the representational world and one hand in the world of abstraction.” --Kristin Malin

"The Canoeists"
Intous tablet drawing, inkjet on rice paper laid on canvas, beeswax and resin; 38x56
Artist Statement: "My work is part photography, part painting and drawing, part digital manipulation. I use photographic images which I alter by a number of pixel-based processes which include re-coloring, removing all color, using color from a cloned source, importing sections of a piece from other pieces, distortion, cropping, etc. To do this I use between 4 and 10 software programs, peripherals including an Intous tablet and an Epson 44 inch archival printer. My substrates range from Epson specially coated canvases to Unryu rice papers adhered to a stretched canvas support. The inkjet print I then finish with acrylic glazes and varnishes and recently, wax and resin with oil bars.” --Petrea Noyes
