Caren Sommer-Lazar Bio

Creating art has been my lifelong pursuit.  It is as basic and natural a need for me as breathing.  As an artist I use keen observation and am perceptive and deeply receptive to my surroundings.  This intense, integral sensitivity allows me to tap into the essence of each of my diverse visual interests.  These include landscapes, figures, portraiture, still-life, assemblage and drawings from nature. My inner voice dictates the best way to interpret selected subject matter. I use wet and/or dry pigments, drawing materials or collage components which incorporate natural and manmade objects.  It is my intent to synthesize and distill our shared human experience into a visual context for all to consider, regard and enjoy.
