I m b u e S t u d i o
K. E. M a r s z y c k i
Years of graduate school, administrative work and increasing automation
have all combined to drive me to create -- paintings, collages, photography and
more -- perhaps in frustration; perhaps in response.
Henry James once commented that the American Tonalists "experienced
landscape as a personal epiphany." I believe this is how I respond to the
natural world around me -- when a certain slant of light strikes the land or that
elusive movement of light on water -- this fleeting moment is what I try to capture
in my paintings.
Being an artist can be a humbling experience -- the more I know, the less I
am certain, and maybe that's a good thing -- to drop the confidence and feel the
work in wrist and arm, in elbow and shoulder, to let fly with color, to find sight
when blinded by ego -- humbling yet enervating.
I have studied with Carol Odel, Brian Colbath, Jack Broderick, Yuri Adams,
Joyce Silverstone and Gaynell Meij. Several times a year, I will immerse myself
in intensive workshops to keep my eye fresh and my spirit receptive to new ways
and means of expression.
