When oil paint meets extraordinary creativity, the resulting work can be a synergistic explosion of emotion on the canvas. This is what happens each time Aleta Pippin sets to work with a palette knife and her oils, mixed with her unique medium that results in exquisitely thin glazes. A single painting may have as many as thirty layers of glazed color, creating glowingly rich depth. But Aleta is more than simply a painter of pictures; she is an artist who reaches out with her medium to touch each person to the very core of their being, that place in all of us that does not recognize shape or form, but innately reacts to color, passion, joy, and possibility.
