and Nanette Tsatsaronis.
“Why do I paint? Connection,”
Shilling, an acrylic artist, said.
Connection to a part of myself,
connection to those around me. I
believe art is an extension of one’s
self, an off ering, a moment in time.
And, for me, art is a way of fi nding
my way to the essence of who I am
and what my existence means to the
world.”
Tsatsaronis, an oil painter, writes:
“The beauty of the ever-changing
sky and landscape will always be my
greatest inspiration. I’m enthralled by
the way the constant motion of the
elements at play cast varying degrees
of light and shadow on the earth, as
it infl uences all life. I have found no
greater canvas than the fl uidity of our
spectacular Oregon sky, with its hope
and power.”
