Art of St. Mary's, Alaska

The work here has been chosen to show the effect that this visually stunning place in bush Alaska has on the senses of those who are natives of this Yup'ik village, and those who have come to it from the Outside. The tundra, trees, snow, sky, hills, rivers, wildlife, and Alaskan light surround us, and are seen in many ways. It is pleasing that there are young people here who are absorbing and reflecting the beauty of St. Mary's', and that it is also an inspiration to practicing artists.

"Willow Buds, March"-by Susan Lince- acrylic and oil pastel on cedar

The willows have more faith than I do
that Spring will come.
I have great reverence 
for their fuzzy expression of hope.

"Willows, Snow, and Sky"-acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, by Susan Lince


Painting from a photograph becomes necessary at times in this climate. A  "plein air" painting would have required setting up an easel in the deep snow, and maintaining control of paint consistency and fingers in below zero temperatures.
