Cyan Dreams - Casey Roberts

Fascinating, colorful and dreamlike is how I would describe the paintings by Casey Roberts.



She uses a method called "cyanotype" a photochemical process from the Civil War era that results in those vibrant blues you see in her work.
She says:
"My work illustrates a fantastic landscape. It represents nature's subtle way of dealing with the peculiar aspects in the relationship with mankind. A giant glow-in-the-dark heart, or a pile of precious gems tells us that we are loved, just as blood squirting from an oak tree trunk says, all is not well. I am inspired by my conversation with the landscape, I imagine long monologues when pine forests make me laugh and mountains test my patience."
