“I am interested in the intersections of earth, sea, and sky. I pay special attention to nature when I see it because it offers a balance to the squares and rectangles of life in the city. To me the process of painting is like riding a bike; the eye sees a constantly shifting landscape on a moving ground. It’s a process of exploring perception. For me it’s a life process, an awareness of being, a way of thinking made palpable.†Margaret Neill, 2008
