Artist Comments
"No matter what season it is, where it is, whether it’s in the woods, by the water, or up above the sky, there is harmony within the elements in nature," says artist Jo Galang. She displays a realistic image of a verdant forest with flourishing foliage. Jo displays an obvious agreement and balance between color, shape, and size. She represents nature as a remarkable and perfect creation. "It’s like beautiful music, where the combination of every note is in harmony, producing a pleasing and consistent sound."

About the Artist
Artist Jo Galang expresses a quiet nostalgia in her airy interpretations of the landscapes and waterways of the Pacific Northwest. Her soft oil paintings capture the meditative sounds of rivers and waterfalls flowing past her easel. During the summer, she spends as much time as possible outside creating plein air sketches and studying the light on the landscape. As a young art student in the Philippines, Jo was privileged to study with the renowned painter Danilo Dalena, who she says encouraged her to be the artist she is today. "I believe my art looks simple enough that people have no idea how much time I have spent working on it," she says. When she is not painting, Jo and her husband enjoy taking road trips, playing cards and finding creative ways to spend time with their granddaughter.
