Paul Kerepka
Artist Statement:
What drives me to paint the landscape is how it connects me with nature, a place to escape, finding a sense of calm, self-renewal, and rediscovery that feeds me inspiration with the ever-changing light with each season. It has been an ongoing dialog marking time. Using bold colors, diagonals, composition and simple forms creates tension and movement; these elements have been problem solving tools that drive me to paint.
