Loretta Markell's work is a constant conversation with nature and
art history. She is attracted to Asian painting and printmaking
techniques and western painters like Matisse, Twombley and Steir.
She loves the poetic, and nature provides the raw material which she
changes into artworks using paint, pastels or ink. Her process
combines long thoughtful periods with a sudden surge of energy
directed at paper and canvas.
