ARTIST STATEMENT
“My still life paintings represent a quest to orchestrate the perfect harmonics of mood, rhyming and color, while allowing natural sunlight to create the serendipitous magic.”
ARTIST BIO
Motivation with light and all of its subtle nuances, a fascination with the effects that juxtaposed objects will have on one another in that light, and the magical and unexpected shapes that occur as a result hold Marie Tippet’s curiosity and fuel her paintings. The results are never the same, especially given the changing light characteristics of the afternoon setting sun. She is open to serendipitous happenings, and fortunate enough to be gifted with the vision to see its beauty and be able to translate that into works of art.
