Artists work with many elements that are derived from
nature. Minerals, wood, earths, oils, water, metals, and natural fibers
are some of the sources for our creations.
Paintings and ceramics utilize oils, pigments from earths
and minerals. Chemicals are used in ceramics, watercolors, and oil and acrylic
paintings. Wood, stone, metals, plastic mixtures, and pigments are the
basis for a wide spectrum of traditional and modern sculptures.
Sand, natural materials, clays, and pigments are used in
firing glass objects. Fibers are used with papers, textiles, threads to
create fiber art pieces. Glass, chemicals, and sunlight were the
ingredients of photography from its beginnings. A wide range of woods
have been made into aesthetic as well as functional works.
We members of Catskill Artists Gallery each use specific
favorite elements in our works, many of which derive from natural sources.
I use a wide variety of materials in my own mixed-media
sculptures and collages: metals, pigments, plastics derived from natural
ingredients, wood, photographs, and fibers.
