Artist Comments
A young woman pauses before a Paris dress shop window, captivated by the display. Her posture mirrors the mannequin, suggesting a moment of discovery or connection with the perfect attire. Painted in an impressionist style with muted tones, the scene draws attention to the glow of sunlight and the quiet elegance of her pose.
About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.
