the society of layerists in multi–media

Shirley Eley Nachtrieb

"My work is an evolving process of self–prescribed treatment for healing of the body and soul. I never know when the painting is done until it tells me that it is finished. The process itself is like talking to God and my inner child at the same time. The layers express my ties to the past and move toward my interaction with the future. My excitement for life is revealed in the layers of vibrant colors as they enrich the surface of the paper reflecting my relationship with my inner self — creative and ever changing. The finished work is a journey toward good health and a closer relationship with God."
