Local Artists Profiles

Sally H. Lambrecht

My long-time fascination with shadow and light patterns has evolved into painting exaggerated and elongated shadows of favorite collected items.

Often shadows show the true essence of something....may even show more than the reality.

There is much personal symbolism and hopefully the viewer can find or read much universal symbolism also..
