Art is a mirror of who you are.
To do art, all you need to do
is get out of the way.
The creative act is the act
of wholeness.
Combine mind and body
and feeling. |

Changing Tide - pastel Art Maui 2006 |
|
Betty-Jane Pefley
As a child, I
led a very solitary life with time to contemplate nature. I spent many hours
walking in the woods and observing my universe. I wanted to record what I
saw on paper or canvas. These images pervade my work.
In college, I
studied philosophy, psychology and art, and received a liberal arts degree.
I have continued to pursue workshops and classes in various media, including
watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, oils and acrylics. I am also a quilter. |
I have
backpacked 2100 miles from Georgia to
Maine. This provided an unusual opportunity to experience nature in a very
intimate way, and has been a major influence on my life. My extensive world
travel, from Tibet to Europe has also contributed to my view of art and
life.
My paintings are personal, my perception of the world. They are a
combination of intellectual history and study, coupled with my emotional
response. They are varying aspects of what is important in my life.
I have had nine of my works accepted in
Art Maui
in the 10 years I've entered. |
