"I am a representational artist and work with oil paint because of the color vibrancy, blending ability and sensual feel of the medium. My subject matter is nature as I am inspired by the light and shadow of the landscape. I utilize traditional oil painting techniques and love to modernize a traditional composition through brushwork and color. Vermeer, Umberto Bocciono and Paul Cezanne are my muses."  Email at:  janice.siegle@gmail.com
