| Flavia’s western landscapes portray the
land that the pioneers found. The work is imbued with the emotional impact of discovery. “I try to see and paint these scenes as if it is the first time I am experiencing them. I try to paint the cold, the wind; the approaching storms.
With all my work I try to capture that first moment of impact, as when you walk into a room or into a scene and that moment embeds itself into your psyche. The colors, the light, the beauty of the forms – oh, I have to paint this! The
challenge of my work is to tell that little story of why this was an image that I needed to capture and share with others.” |
