       " Searching for the essential elements of nature is the key to creating my paintings.  The metamorphosis into a work of art is done through the illusion of space, light and color.  If I successfully proceed with these essentials in mind, the physical painting becomes spiritual and self sustaining as a vehicle of transcendence",  states Judith D'Agostino

  "We create secrets – deep crevasses – or we open our consciousness to become more of who we truly are, layer upon layer. Each painting is meant to be a small universe that represents the microcosm within the macrocosm – the emergence of form, the syntheses of the concrete and spirit.  These paintings are journeys of my heart. My intention is for the paintings to become metaphors that reveal the truth we have within us but have forgotten," states Sharon Craft.
