“While hiking in
Sedona, I was struck
by the gentle move-
ment of this stream
along with the brilliant
reflection. The energy
of the clear blue sky
breaking up in the
foreground, along
with the swirling water,
was the anchor for the
painting. I knew that
would be the key to the
painting’s success.”

“To curate a show of this quality is quite an honor,


and we are grateful to IAPS for the opportunity.”
— NANCIE KING MERTZ

“This is a portrait of a
friend. Heather is a poet
and writer. She was sitting
for a different painting
and, while she was resting
between poses, she’d
become absorbed in her
writing. It only seemed the
natural thing to turn those
moments into a portrait, so
I abandoned my first paint-
ing and began this one. We
were together in the same
space yet fully focused on
our own work. It was a very
peaceful experience.”
