Artist Statement for Katherine Zinner Cimaglio
|

|
I am fortunate to live in an incredibly historic and scenic area so do not have to stray far from my front door to find rich subject matter for my work. While not strictly a genre painter it is a close enough description of my style. I paint to capture the grace of historic buildings,the quiet peace of a grazing cow, an old barn, the farm cat or farm landscape...the occasional unexpected still life. These are the things I know, the farm I grew up on, the smell of hay and rain and earth and the rich and rapidly vanishing history around me.
I work in acrylic on canvas in layers and glazes to enrich the depth of my work and to slow me down so that each painting developes a character in compliment to the image. I occasionally paint in miniaturea as well, requiring a focus and concentration to a point where painting becomes a meditaion in itself.
Art has been a gift to me, so I want people to look into my paintings rather than look at them...to sense my excitement and in some cases to see the humor in my work. I believe that art should leave the viewer refreshed and renewed. If my work evokes a smile from the viewer, then I have succeeded as an artist.
