Artist Statement
“I am inspired to paint the beauty and diversity of this amazing landscape. I strive to capture the color of the sunset or the reflection and shimmer on the water and the feeling I have as I stand in light absorbing its warmth and color. It is all about the light. As I paint, I experience the light so every shape, color, pattern and mark is connected. I give this energy to each painting so others might experience the feeling of light as well.
-Karrie Baldwin
