Artist’s Statement
Artist’s Statement
As an artist I have no statement except my paintings. Light bounces off of them and enters your eyes. Now it is your turn. Don't ask - look.
If you like them - good.
If not - no matter.
The painting, being itself, has done its work either way.
I think of my small paintings as 'companions' rather that an artistic 'statement'. I hope they may exist with generations of a family living around them. I imagine my tulips or peaches being quiet observers of different lives performed in their space. I consider it theater in two directions - observer to painting and painting to observer.
Biography
Nancy Fitz-Rapalje’s work offers us an intimate view of the solo life of a dedicated oil painter. Her work is of the objects which she sees as everyday, and is driven not by the subjects of her paintings, but by the work itself. Fitz-Rapalje’s work is done with a certainty and grace gained only by experience, practice, and the demands of making the difficult decisions in life.
It is in the execution of Fitz-Rapalje’s work where we find that we are being presented with more than a depiction of objects in her studio. We are witness to a monologue on the compulsion of an artist to paint, and the freedom found in the everyday when creation flows so intentionally.
