Join us in our nation's capital for an artist reception for Roxanne Weidele on May 18th at our Washington, DC Showroom location : Thos. Moser

Presenting Sanctuaries Along the Chesapeake by Roxanne Weidele

Low Tide, pasted on paper, 33"x23"

Sanctuaries Along the Chesapeake, features pastels of the Chesapeake Bay and its many tributaries by Roxanne Weidele. Through the medium of pastel chalk, Weidele uses both her palms and fingers to “sculpt” her admiration for this wetland landscape, revealing its vivid colors. Weidele, as an avid kayaker and hiker, uses her outings as inspiration to create pastels which translate her deep appreciation and connection to these waterscapes.

"I aim to translate the sense of tranquility and beauty I see in nature to my landscapes. The wetlands are sanctuaries for me, and I hope my pastels can help to bring attention to the water and the restorative qualities this natural environment provides. Ultimately, I hope this will give further reason to protect it.", says Weidele.

Sanctuaries Along the Chesapeake is on view at Thos. Moser through June 9, 2012.
