In a world where species of plants and animals are disappearing and the future of a warming earth is a top concern, Deborah Kriger’s exhibition documenting trees and flowers presents a subtext worthy of consideration. Beyond the lush application of oil paint to capture scenarios of swaying trees, damp earth, blooming buds, and floating clouds, Kriger serves as a visual interlocutor on the importance of chronicling nature. 

Deborah Kriger has a BFA from the Maryland Institute of Art. Working in oils, she paints from observation. She has painted extensively in France, upstate and in her studio in NYC. She often paints landscapes ‘en plein air’ and still life in her studio and is inspired by light, textures, patterns and colors. Her landscape paintings have a real sense of place. She says that when she looks at her paintings, whether recently created or from many years ago, she can immediately feel, hear and smell the environment where the painting was done. She hopes that those who view her paintings can experience the same sensations.
