Her paintings brim with joyful scenes and stories of her life in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. Her works tell of the things she knows and loves…her garden, the farm, and the simple pleasures of a life well-lived among friends and family. She is one among the generations of talented and self-taught artists including her parents and her children. Her work is exceptional in its illustrative quality, with the capacity to tell a story in small or large-scale. Diminutive brushwork adds the sweetest of details to her scenes.   This painting depicts a fanciful Halloween scene, with witches, playful angels, cats and pumpkins.  The sleeping women in the foreground is a theme of hers, perhaps meant to signify the painting originating from a dream.   Like all of her work, it is wonderfully complex and yet simply depicted.  Her work is truly unique and deeply spiritual.  It reminds me often of the works of Marc Chagall.  Please feel free to send any questions my way.Painting measures approximately 20x30in including hand painted wood frame  Place a Bid!
