ABOUT ROLINDA STOTTS

Rolinda grew up on a dairy farm working with animals and earth, growing crops and building fences, all while learning to nurture life and respect nature. This is where her life as an artist began. The lessons of balance and harmony that she learned on the farm were invaluable in expressing her feelings and experiences on canvas.

Oils evoke a depth of richness in the color, and when carefully overlaid, will convey a mood in the art. The layering of color builds an effect unlike newly created art. Rolinda is sharing the deep emotion of the rich heritage she feels while working.

Rolinda will use her hands throughout the whole painting process to gently age the new image. Finally, she will adhere the painting to a self-constructed wooden frame. She will continue adding more oil paint either in very thin applications or with a bold palette knife as the painting becomes alive within her. Rolinda wants the painting to look like you discovered an ancient fresco somewhere, and found a way to bring it home.
