Artist statement
CLAUDETTE LEE-ROSELAND ARTIST STATEMENT

I am an acrylic/oil painter, metal smith and instructor of beginning painters. For me, the fun is in the process. Enjoyment comes from creating something new and then having others also relate to the work. I like the idea of leaving a bit of me for the world to enjoy. My current work ranges from abstract acrylics to miniature oil landscapes. I have been making art of some form most of my life and believe everyone is creative in some fashion. I am a Signature Member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters, Wisconsin Visual Artists, Cedarburg Artists Guild, Oil Painters of America and Wisconsin Plein Air Painters Association.
My thought process with an abstract work begins by creating a form of ciaos and then organizing it according to compositional rules and my internal sense of beauty, completion and presentation. A painting may have a theme or be part of a series that I am exploring such as birds, figures, shapes. I prefer to work in the abstract because the end result is always a surprise and something totally new. My paintings include lines that appear and disappear, adding mystery to the work and giving the viewer’s eye something to follow. I strive for a rich surface that may include some collage buried in the layers of thought.
During the “good” months of Wisconsin weather, my painting life includes the activity of Plein Air. This gives me the opportunity to bring my abstract shapes into reality. Here I attempt to abstract the landscape through shape and value. These painting are executed in oil.
