Paula Peacock
An established painter since 1999, I use the “Old Masters,” my own life's experiences, and the experiences of those close to me as my source of inspiration. My sole purpose when painting is to celebrate the form, color, and exquisite design we see around us every day and often take for granted. I strive to portray ordinary objects with an emotion and sensuality, rich, richer-than-life colors, a touch of elegance, and a provocative glow with interplays of light.
Working primarily in oils and the manner of realism, I work to reflect a combination of layered symbolism with a touch of subtle wit in the style of the classical tabletop still life. My art involves simply staged contemporary subject matters with results that I hope are thought-provoking yet peaceful to the eye and mind.
Making art is a conduit for my life's joys, trials, and tribulations, and my paintings, more than words, reveal my responses to those experiences.
