Dyan Gingras Rook- "Art has always been and I imagine will always be a part of my life. Teaching art in the public schools for many years gave me the opportunity not only to inspire, but to be inspired. The ability to see the world through the eyes of a child again is only a dream, but to witness those experiences small and mundane is a necessary catalyst to my art.
I primarily paint in water media because of the capacity for luminosity and ease of transport. My compositions often incorporate a view through a window, combining what is happening inside and out. I believe this is a metaphor which lends itself to interpretations...conscious or unconscious... those intended by myself and those arrived at by the viewer. Capturing a glimpse of daily activity or a still life anticipating action as subject matter has become a favorite theme. Some paintings may hint of a story within...the beginning or the end?
Art is the window through which I witness and celebrate the unusual and the ordinary. Painting is sometimes exasperating, often gratifying and always an opportunity to observe, understand and learn."
