Claire Gagnon

Artist Statement
 

With this minimalist approach, I hope you feel "Drawn In" my work in the "Drawn" In Exhibit.  Drawing and painting thumbnails is my preferred approach to establish the composition, determine the dark, lights, and midtones, as well as the balance, rhythm, and design for each piece.  I played with markers, water-base ink, watercolor, and acrylic to create these little gems. I invite you to look at the finished paintings available on my display by the cash register.
