"The work speaks to the power of nature, providing the means to life. The influence
of the elements of air, wind and fire are presented in the images of the exhibition. Their life giving forces are symbolized in the trees and plant life that give
us the air that we breathe."
Cecile Moran
Cecile Moran has been a teaching artist for many years, including 2 years in
Spain. Her painting is allegorical in nature and relies strongly on the interaction
of brightly colored images to project the story. These images are based on personal
experiences. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boston University - College
of Fine Art and a Master of Arts in Art Education from California State University
at Long Beach. Additional study was provided by scholarship to the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Wildacres Workshop in North Carolina through the
Ringling School of Art and Design. Her work is found in numerous private collections
and has been exhibited in Massachusetts, California, New York and Florida.
The Process:
The paintings have a unique appearance due to the layering technique used in
the process. Layers of color are placed one over the other and removed in some
areas to reveal new color relationships. She has been impressed with the layering
of color in the Molas of the San Blas Indians. The process used in her painting
indicates this influence.
