Jill Stefani Wagner: Whatever subject matter I paint, my primary focus is always the “light” and how it affects what I’m trying to capture. Working in pastel and oil, I approach my paintings as a sculptor would, carving out nuances of highlight and shadow.
An avid plein air artist, I’m inspired by the American and Italian landscape. I paint yearly in 5-7 national plein air festivals capturing the uniqueness of each venue. Michigan winters are spent working in my studio, creating larger pieces…but always chasing the light.
