LIVING IN THE WATER WORLDS:
     A Painting Exhibition by

             ANDREA ORECK

 

Water  holds a fascination for us.

To live among the kelp forests, floating,

effortlessly suspended in a liquid medium,

has attracted our imagination for all time.

What joy to be a sea turtle grazing the ocean floor,

an octopus gliding along the shimmering white sand,

a Garibaldi foraging on the swaying kelp.

Come immerse yourself in the Water Worlds.

"My art journey started the day Mother decided to go through the heirloom treasures

in the old cedar chest when I was ten years old. I stood in awe as she displayed roll after roll

of grandmother's paintings and drawings and then her own.

I wondered if I could ever do that.

I attempted my first oil painting of the house across the street that summer

and have been painting ever since."
