Artist Comments
"The markets in Paris are so full of life and color!" says artist Faye Vander Veer. "You can almost feel the warmth of the sun as you observe the shoppers passing the various vegetable stands and cafes." Capturing the vibrancy of the scene, Faye used loose and active brushwork. The colors play harmoniously with emphasis on the bright and cheerful midday sun. "Market scenes are among my favorite subjects to paint. They bring the world to life!"

About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. She describes herself as an observer of people living their day-to-day lives. Her goal is to offer viewers a look into her sensory memory while also prompting the beginning of a story. Faye always keeps her camera by her side, ready to capture reference material. "For me, each painting is an opportunity to explore my emotional reactions to the color and light I observe," says Faye. She enjoys being in her glass-walled studio surrounded by nature to inspire her creative process. When she is not putting paint on canvas, Faye can be found in nature, journaling or writing poetry. Her artwork has been showcased in both American Art Collector and Art of the West magazines.
