"Balance, harmony, strength -- these are the qualities I want my paintings to express. I'm fascinated with structure, the way things work and evolve over time.

I like the bones of my drawing to show through, creating a framework for intricate patterns of negative space. The push/pull of surface and space fascinates me, and I'll often tweak a composition to include areas of interesting ambiguity. I also love finding visual echoes that enrich and unify the design.

If design is my song, color is my voice. I get caught up with the beauty and power of color and let it sweep me along as the painting emerges. When I'm working with pastel -- my current favorite -- I love building layers of rich, broken color that shimmer with light and atmosphere.

Each painting is a journey and a joy!"
~ Nancy Roberts
