| Unlike traditional impressionist and plein air painters, Stafford’s trip into the great outdoors is only the beginning of her process. “I absorb all the visual and sensual messages that nature conveys when I am in the landscape, the air quality, light and color contrasts. But it is later, in my studio, when I find my own voice in what nature has shown me. Trees are what most interest me in the landscape. Like gentle giants they stand alone or in groups symbolizing time and endurance.” | ||
