“The inter-connectivity of the natural world is what captivates me. I do not paint actual scenes or situations as a photographic camera would capture, rather, I paint an exploration of metaphysical realism, as an observer of energy, light, and the collective consciousness, where I attempt to transmute the energy of a situation or experience and invite the light out of the darkness. I have played with portraiture, placing New Zealand’s native birds upon pedestals; I admire their wisdom and integrity through the legends which have been told. As I evolve, new creatures are making an appearance bringing their messages of wisdom to my work. The birds, animals, and insects in my work become personifications of the soul and my paintings manifest into expressions of the human condition, a reflection of the world that surrounds me and an interpretation of the way through.” – Jane Crisp Artist
