“Blue Moon” by Sandra Cress
inks, acrylic, watercolor, 8”x12”, 2010Sandra CressSandra Cress has a fine arts degree from UWEC and is glad to call Eau Claire her home, though she wishes that most of the squirrels and deer in her yard would relocate.
“I have always been drawn to the beauty and mystery of the moon; it is a companion in the night sky, a cyclical constant, a grounding beacon. The moon is often featured in my artwork, whether the medium be drawing, painting, photography or collage. As an artist, the title of my studio is Moonseed Studio. Many of my mixed media paintings reflect my interest and experience in printmaking, and sometimes have been mistaken as such. In “Blue Moon,” I have depicted a daylight moon as blue. I like to leave the viewer with their own interpretation, but who is to say this has not occurred, if only in our imagination?” – The Artist
