Natalie A. Gaidry began her career as an artist when she was two, by painting her younger sister's hair a bright purple color. Since then, her creative talent has continued to develop, taking her through numerous stages to her current vibrant and markedly personal style. Objects are distorted, and colors are intensified. This, Gaidry is telling us, is how reality appears to an artist with a keen sensibility for all that is visually arresting in our world. The details of what surrounds us are not as important, or, at least, not as interesting. The artist's eye is impressed by the contrasting colors, while her mind is conjuring fantastic images out of the shapes of buildings, cars, doors, and people. The final result is a canvas with a powerful visual impact. Gaidry's work is especially impressing on large frames. With one of her 8' by 5' paintings hanging on a wall, a room's ambiance comes to life with irrepressible vitality. |
