The amazement of the natural world so beautifully realized in a simple seed informs Snow’s subject matter.

Fruits carefully enfold their seeds, providing a mechanism designed for optimum dispersal. They have evolved to attract animals that carry the seeds to prime growing locations, providing a wondrous visual legacy for us — a “thingness” that Snow strives to capture.

Snow’s close observation from life and a focus on color and form introduce a dynamic, vibrant presence to her oil-on-canvas paintings. “Studying at RISD with Sewell Sillman, a colleague of Josef Albers, was a pivotal point in my recognizing the power of color and its ability to manipulate perception.

I hope my work awakens the wonderment of the complexities of nature, evident in a simple seed.”
