Artist's Statement: People have a wistful yearning for what was. I like to paint things of the past. I have almost a homesickness for the irrecoverable past. The traditional rural farmscapes and barns continue to populate Marieluises paintings of quintessential New England. She enjoys paying homage to once- prominent farmsteads as well as cottages along New Englands coast. Marieluise began to paint in her late twenties and is entirely self-taught. Her work has a tone of thoughtfulness, a tangible silence. An image may evoke the feeling of a crisp autumn evening, the pensive passage from fall breezes to the chill snap of winter, or the solitude that follows a New England snowfall. Her vision is precise, without action, leaving much to the viewer's imagination. In essence, Marieluise's paintings stir memories and embody Yankee values of character, integrity and promise. |
