Wilson, who lives in Lisle, Ill., works primarily with the oil paintstick, a medium that can be blended very smooth or applied with more pressure to leave a heavy texture similar to a palette knife. My paintings reveal the conflict and harmony that exist in the relationship between the Earth and sky, when the sun touches the tops of the cornfield at dusk and the day is over but the work is not .The landscapes reflect my systematic approach to structure and even require the trees to stand at attention. Land Legends reflect varied landscapes from her childhood in Iowa to time spent along Florida's shorelines and the Mississippi Delta. My work describes life in its simplest forms and gives the viewer a peek into natures organizations. Midwesterners control the environment to a certain extent by dividing the land into mile-wide squares, laid out like an old quilt top.
