About the Item
Artist Comments
A compelling western scene of the Muddy Mountains lays out in the beautiful geography of the Mojave. Artist Crystal DiPietro paints an impressionist rendering of the glorious sight in pastel shades and loose linework. The light washes of the watercolor flows, while the outlines accentuate the hard edges of the rock formations. The colorful butte and wispy creosote bushes flourish beautifully in the balmy desert near Las Vegas.
About the Artist
Artist Crystal DiPietro paints majestic sceneries inspired by her personal trips to beautiful untamed places. She creates landscapes as rugged and dramatic—setting her style apart from the usual soft and delicate perspectives of the genre. Crystal pursued art school in Washington, D.C., where she got to go behind the scenes in major galleries and explore hiking, a huge source of her work inspiration. She composes her work with bold natural views in unique angles, vibrant colors, and loose brushstrokes. With her own photography used as a reference, Crystal expresses the details in her paintings slowly, in layers, the same way a photograph develops. “I intend to show a subtle beauty where the viewer may never have thought to look,†says Crystal. Her work hovers between capturing a brief dream and a contemplative impression of the scene. She achieves this by allowing viewers to come away with new respect and appreciation for the worlds around them.

Artist Tiffany Blaise presents a dreamy seascape with a sweeping view of the starry galaxy. She captures the spirit of the aurora borealis shining over mountain peaks.

She creates the piece with soft layers of oil paint, ink, and cold wax to achieve a luminous effect.
About the Artist
Tiffany Blaise draws on the natural grandeur of British Columbia to develop her dreamy, expressionist seascapes. Before venturing into her studio in East Vancouver, she spends time walking the beach, taking photos and simply sitting and observing the light around her. Tiffany explains that even with a photo, her goal is to capture the mood, feeling and gesture of the scene. She begins painting by creating a study of her reference photograph to map out the key visual elements and establish the color palette. Color matching is one of her favorite aspects of painting, and she finds that it is highly influenced by her mood and the season. As a young developing artist, Tiffany devotes time to experimenting with different mediums, researching new techniques and studying the work of other artists. “I'm putting in my 10,000 hours!†she says. “A defining moment for me was realizing my love for painting the wilderness while I was at an artist residency in a national park near Sydney [Australia]. Since then I have not been able to stop sourcing my imagery from hikes and adventures.†Tiffany’s work has been featured in the Montreal Art Matters Festival, The Ferry Building...
