BETTE WOODLAND

Winnipeg, MB
The paintings begin with a response to a
particular experience of the landscape,
figure or still life. The works are not
descriptive in the photo-realist sense,
but evolve intuitively, guided by an
involvement with a certain quality of light
used both to reveal objects, and as a way
of making certain feelings intelligible.
