'The Beauty of the Earth' Art Exhibit of Joni Ware Oils

Artist Statement:

I am struck by beauty wherever I go, in open space, in animals and in people.

With my art I hope to convey this beauty and connect the viewer with the inspiration I felt when I first saw it, whether it be the raw colors of a sunset, in the soulful eyes of an animal, or the emotion in a human face.

I paint the world realistically as I see it and my medium is oil paint due to its intensity and changeability.
