Continuing our series highlighting our premium members, this time we feature Jolyn Wells-Moran.
"There aren't any better days than the ones in which I feel that I’ve accomplished conveying my aesthetic and emotional experience of nature -- although I love the struggle, drama and comedy of the actual process too," says Jolyn Wells-Moran. Wells-Moran is a plein air painter in oils. She often uses her plein air studies, memory and sometimes photographs to enlarge upon a plein air piece, or to develop it further, in the studio. Wells-Moran studied at the Marchutz School of Art, Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence; minored in Art in college; and has taken workshops and classes from Kathryn Stats, Camille Przewodek, Pam Ingalls, Eric Jacobsen, Mitch Albala, Charles Emerson and other fine artists-instructors.
Here's some example of her work:

To me, Jolyn's strongest work really evokes a sense of the atmosphere of a place. Wells-Moran was recently named a finalist in the Artist's Magazine's Annual Art Competition, received a Special Recognition Award for Outstanding Art from Art, Space & Time Gallery's 2014 International Open Competition and was featured in the editorial of Southwest Art Magazine, “Top Honors,” January, 2015. Her work can be seen at Gallery North in Edmonds, WA and upcoming shows in the fall, to be announced on her web site. She will show some work from Baja California Sur, Mexico, Arizona, Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
By the way, there's less than a week left for our upcoming art show and competition! I hope everyone is wrapping up their work. Paint, paint, paint!
