The Cyber Art Show
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two
12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Kami Mendlik (born 1973 in Jacksonville, North Carolina).
Kami grew up just north of Stillwater, MN on the family land where her daily wanderings taught her to have a great love and respect for the qualities of the natural world that later provided her with the inspiration which has led her on a lifelong journey as a painter. She has studied with some of the country’s finest painters, and for the last ten years she has been actively teaching plein- air and representational oil-painting classes and workshops through the school she founded, The St. Croix River School Of Painting as well as through the Madeline Island School of The Arts on Madeline Island.
Kami’s work has been exhibited in numerous National, Regional, International and Solo shows such as (partial listing) Oil Painters Of America Vermont; AWA – American Woman Artists Master Juried Exhibition Tubac AZ; “Moments,” a solo exhibition at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson WI, November 2011; The National Juried American Impressionist Society Exhibition in Carmel CA, and the Door County Plein Air Festival Featured Artist in Door County WI,
In May of 2012, she traveled to Italy where she painted and taught a week-long plein-air workshop, and in June of 2012 she was selected as the judge for the Red Wing Plein Air competition.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
“I find great inspiration for much of my work painting the landscape en plein air, studying the light, color and mood of the day. It is interesting to me as an artist that a painting exists not only because of the artist's efforts, but also because of the exact intersection of time, place, mood, light and the emotional response the painter has at that given moment the painting is being created.
Many of my field studies end up as inspiration pieces for larger studio works. Along with the challenges and beautiful discoveries of living my life as a painter, this emotional translation I make with paint keeps me endlessly curious and inspired!”
