Artist Statement:
"As an intuitive painter I am intrigued by the alchemical transmutation of paint into art; the magic of color interacting with color and the shadow images that appear out of this process leads me through the creation of a painting or an entire series. Composition, color choice and environment evolve spontaneously as I paint.
I am inspired not by what I see, but by how I feel when I observe something that touches me deeply. My paintings are not about technical perfection or rendering specific images realistically. They are instead stories from my imagination and life. Using iconic imagery, they tell of love, spiritual pursuit, personal journeys, moments of perfect grace, disappointment, loss and finally, hope."

Yarrow Summers, a textile artist known for her art for wear pieces, became interested in painting while working in galleries in Carmel, Santa Barbara and Mendocino.
Five years ago, she took a beginning class at the College of the Redwoods and fell in love with the medium and process. Today, Yarrow paints in her Mendocino studio where she produces her unique style of uncomplicated yet profound narrative iconographic works. Focusing her imagination through her heart and soul, she invites the viewer to borrow her imagery to create their own story, add their own meaning, and thus continue a shared journey of discovery.
Yarrow's paintings can be seen at the Northcoast Artists Gallery, the Artists' Cooperative of Mendocino and the Mendocino Art Center.
