ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The paintings in this exhibit were made on sections of “repurposed” found lumber that have been cleaned, primed and sealed. The unsanded surfaces connect them to their previous function as rough construction lumber hidden from view. The wood's texture underlies the images and is evidence of a connection to nature. Found wire, intended either for hanging the pieces from nails or as aspects of the
image, emphasizes the series’ origins in salvaged mixed media, and adds to their 3-dimensional quality.
I experience painting as a translation of energy into matter via a mental and physical process. My approach is one of engaging imagination and stream of consciousness, and seeing where it leads. I react to the environment of the painting as I develop it. The resulting image is frequently abstract, with hints of figure entering when it seems necessary.

WENDY SETZER
What moves me to make an Image? I never know, but it will hit me. Perhaps an animal will cross my path and I’ll take a picture to draw from. Perhaps there is beautiful light on a pond, or in the city, or even my backyard. Sometimes I will paint a portrait to sensitively capture an expression. There is always the light and color that bends and defines the form of a face or a landscape.
