Artist Statement:
Of overriding interest to me,
no matter what the subject
matter, is the power of color.
I consider myself a colorist
and by that I mean that I use
color to create mood, form,
dramatic contrast and a sense
of magical imagery. I want to
create works of art that ...

"Zasloff Captures The Lake District Of Northern Italy On Canvas" Cherine Tavassoli
When most of us look into a pond full of koi, we see fish swimming steadily in the water. When Lee Zasloff looks into that same pond, she sees magic . . . a kaleidoscope of colors swirling continuously with reforming shapes and scattered light. Every moment brings a new vision, creating what she refers to as a "magical reality." And she possesses the talent and ability to transfer those moments of serenity onto canvas, communicating tranquillity in a high speed world.
...Zasloff is most inspired by the Post-Impressionist and the Fauve artists and the use of color that came from these schools. "I'm really a colorist... I like to use color very strongly." She uses this as the primary device to communicate her impressions, reacting to the vivid hues nature has given us. It is an influential element that affects the senses...Lee Zasloff takes her first impression and reactions to her surroundings to create peaceful images. Though color is the most prominent feature in her work, there is a quiet, tranquil quality that affects the viewers. And in a world dictated by high speed communications and active lifestyles, it is this calming effect that is Zasloff's goal. She creates her art with the hope that somebody will just take a moment...Lee Zasloff takes her first impression and reactions to her surroundings to create peaceful images.

"Stopping in front of your work saying 'hmmmmm . . . nice,' you know? Just a moment of quiet."

"San Diego Artists. World Class Talent In Our Own Backyard" Beverly Vincent
An art professor once told me that to truly appreciate a work of art you must respond to how it makes you feel, not to what you see. The artist works, not to mirror life, but to interpret it for us through the form, color and texture he chooses. And so, we must consider the emotions the artist evokes in us.
Here, in San Diego, we have an opportunity to experience the work of local artists with world-class talent -- fine artists who, through various media, have achieved audience appeal for their ability to call up feelings of wonder and delight.
We won't say we discovered the artists included in our feature, but perhaps you are viewing their works here for the first time.
On the following pages you can explore the talents that surround us like the fine art of painter Lee Zasloff . . .I could go on, but as the saying goes, "One picture is worth a thousand words."
