View Portfolio @ http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-lora-marsh.html Artist's Statement: I am a painter as well as an art instructor. My goal when creating art is to offer the viewer an experience. Edgar Degas said it best when he said, “Art is not what you see, but you make others see.” Through my art and my teaching, I believe that I have helped others to see the world in a new way. My work is influenced by the power and mystique of the world around me. I’m inspired by the brilliant colors that appear naturally, the ripple of a wave, a tree swaying in the breeze, or by light magically glistening off water. I bring these influences out in my work by enhancing color and contrast and by adding a sense of light. I capture a place that is calm and inviting; a visual escape. My style is a painterly form of realism and my hope is to capture the viewer and bring them into my world and way of seeing."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."~ Anonymous
