My favorites are the scenes from laundromats and bathrooms. Her nude women are full and round and healthy looking surrounded by color and comfort. Art is a reflection of nature, and nature is a reflection of the Creator. It really is that simple, that beautiful, and that profound. We are faced with negativity on a daily basis.
Art provides influence in our everyday lives.
Butler Steltemeier's watercolors are intricate statements in color and texture. The tiny brush strokes and details are an awe-inspiring expression of patience and pleasure. Added touches of hanging beads from some of her paintings and using the wide antique-molding frames adds more character to each piece. Judith Surowiec works with acrylics and colored pencil. She paints with a colorful energy, and sometimes folds or crumples a canvas for the challenge and surprise.
