Award-Winning Oil Painter
Merri Daley
"I love the visual beauty of Colorado and the West. I respond to the emotional beauty of the world around me with a combination
of realism, impressionism and expressionism. I use mostly a palette knife while applying oil paints in a thick and swift application
to keep the painting moving,
fresh and alive.
I enjoy looking for abstract shapes and patterns in the landscape
when developing a painting.
I have an art education background, graduating from Ball State University then teaching art in the public schools in my early days. Since retiring, I have been able to pursue my art on a daily basis.
I belong to the American Impressionists Society, Plein Air Painters of Colorado, Fremont Center for the Arts and the Florence Arts Council.
I have won many regional art show awards including plein air competitions.
Art is my journey and passion."
