Artist Statement: Jeri Castimore

I am presently working with oil stick on wood.
I enjoy drawing with the paint in a direct way getting in touch with my thoughts and
feelings as I go along – reconciling the past and coping with the present.
I prefer it quiet when I paint. I may start out slowly, making rounded lines or I might strike the surface in a more assertive way –
taking small breaks to look at my work from a distance.
I get energized when I paint, hopefully ending up with a successful composition!
