Red Rock Arts Festival, Plein Air Competition, Moab, UT
I will be in Moab, UT for a week of painting in this striking desert landscape. Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, the Colorado River and the town of Moab will be featured in these paintings. In 2015 I placed second in their paint the town "Quick Draw" event. It's been four years since I've been out West and I'm thrilled to be on my way back to paint with old friends and new. I particularly enjoy the camaraderie at these events.

Artist Reception

Saturday,

 


June 23rd
 

2-4pm

The majority of Maurer's work was done on location. Three of the floral pieces were painted locally at Queeny park, St. Louis, MO earlier this spring. The St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM) was also painted plein air. The water fountains that lead up to SLAM capture the liveliness and romance of the location. Her seascapes are as gentle and refreshing as the shore breeze felt when viewing the distant lighthouse, and the strokes and application of paint are as bold and strong as the persistent waves.

A real gem in her show is her forest painting with a few white trees (suggestions of birches) and a quaint cool stream passing through the hills. This painting was completed on location at Cascade Pass in the New York Adirondack Mountains. In this work she was moved by the deliberate forms and uses of color that flowed to her effortlessly, partially a result of her previous work and studies in the area. When painting plein air the artist is like a sponge, absorbing everything in sight that contributes to the strength and significance of the location. 

In addition to her landscapes, Maurer's USA flag paintings are displayed prominently in celebration of Memorial Day and the 4th of July. This USA flag series serves as a reminder of the brave acts that gave birth to this country and continue to protect her as well as the strong character and morality that are needed to sustain her. These flags are truly one of a kind, inspired, and full of vitality. A theme in her USA flag series is unity. The intermingling of the stripes and blending in the stars suggest that even though each state is individual and parts of the country are white, and parts are blue and parts are red they're all needed to make the whole.

Jodie Maurer, painting Plein Air

Jodie Maurer, painting Plein Air

When I begin a painting, I do not have a finished product in mind.

Similar to poetry or composing of any kind, the outcome is unknown. It is an exploration of an idea. As the poet writes, his idea develops, questions arise, problems surface. The poem is the result of the development in thought.

As it is with writing, so it is with painting.

My approach is to capture the spirit of the land that makes this country my home, through thick layers of gestural paint strokes.

I primarily use oils, palette knives and large canvases.

 

I participate in Plein Air contests around the country and received Best of Show in Town & Country, MO in 2011, Best of Show in the “Farmer’s Market Quick Draw,” Booth Bay Harbor, ME in 2015 and Second Place in Moab, UT in 2015.

 

The past two years, I lived in the Northeast. There, I focused on exploring ocean shorelines, the northern mountainous region, waterfalls, and the Hudson Valley.

 

Currently, I reside in St. Louis, MO, pursuing the beauty of the Midwest.

 

One thing I can assure you is that wherever I am, I will paint.

 

“All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.”

 – Robert Henri
