Jane S. Barton
I have spent a lot of time in the last few years traveling the globe, experiencing new cultures, sights and ideas In my travels I’ve experienced a change of climate, of cultures, of altitude, and of course a change of scenery.
For me, art and travel have a lot in common. Both offer opportunities to experience the excitement of the mysterious as well as the comfort to be found in collecting the familiar. Lately I see each new scene as a still life: a moment in time, in my life, that I want to “freeze” so that I can continue to enjoy it long after the sun has set, the boat has drifted by, the blooms have faded. And, of course, I want to share these moments of life–in whatever part of the world I happen to be–with others. I hope you enjoy my “still moments” of life.
