Bethann Moran-Handzlik's paintings investigate the beauty of the natural world. A plein air artist, Bethann paints directly from nature all year long, including the cold winter months. Her preferred medium, oil paint, lends a discernable quality of truth to her work. The transparency, opacity, and ability for the paint to be worked and reworked inform the slow, observational approach to Moran-Handzlik's artwork.
