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 Julia Patterson (born 1957 in Texarkana, Arkansas).
As a native Texan and an Arizona resident for 25 years, Julia's sensibilities are grounded in the American Southwest. The textural attributes of sanded paper and pastel sticks lend themselves to the arid magic of the desert, adobe, earth and boundless sky. Julia wishes to capture those moments that have tripped some artistic trigger within her, and the pure pigments of pastel afford her the freedom to do that.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
"Soft pastels make me as giddy as a child with a new pack of Crayons. Far messier than Crayons, their tactile nature is a key part of what engages me about the medium. Coming to pastel from the world of watercolor, I was agog at the immediate gratification of pure, vibrant color. I still often under-paint with watercolor and allow some translucency to shimmer through the pastel. The technique works well with the subjects I’m attracted to: doors, windows, gates ~ tantalizing in their mysteries, possibilities, longing."
