 Sometimes as artists we can feel like our reserves for ideas and inspiration are tapped out. During these times we may feel like we are in a creative desert. I've realized that it is important to replenish our reserves and for me it begins with changing my environment. Spending time in new places fuels my creative spirit. I painted this painting called Desert Moonrise over a year after visiting Taos, New Mexico. I believe it is a conglomeration of my memories of the southwestern parts of The U.S., including New Mexico and Arizona, where I visited many years ago. The painting is not any particular place but an image from my subconscious.

Catherine Picard-Gibbs- Through my paintings, I have become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world; how light hangs on a tree or building, the movement or stillness of water passing under a bridge, the mystery of a tunnel, a church interior or the grit of a train yard. My work is contemporary but takes cues from painters of the past. Archives
