Artist Statement: Cindy Zaglin Artist Statement I've been creating art in some form since early childhood. My current work has evolved from a representational depiction of subject matter to an exploration of color and space and how that creates an emotion. My goal is not to reproduce an exact likeness of my subjects. I use clean, vivid colors, with paint, paper and oil stick, to engage the viewer and move the eye around the canvas. My work is less concerned with being able to identify the subject matter and more concerned with using color, light and texture to connect with my subject and hopefully stir something in the viewer. Whether I'm paining landscapes plein air, working from live models, or creating abstract compositions, the goal is always the same – to create works that are emotionally honest, come from my core and express the joy, happiness, sadness, anger – whatever it was that drew me to the subject to begin with.
