Vanessa Stafford

I am always watchful for that quality of variety, in combination with balance, which characterizes the most satisfying and enduring art.  Complexity, diversity, ingenuity and originality abound, and so does symmetry and equilibrium.  But both in the same work of art is an elusive ideal.

I consider these paintings by California artist Vanessa Stafford to be outstanding examples of this ideal.
