“Nature, in its various manifestations, has always provided the raw material for my artistic investigations,” says Phyllis Shafer a resident Lake Tahoe artist.
Shafer’s plein-air paintings are inspired by the picturesque landscapes of Nevada and California. Since moving to the Sierra Nevada, my focus has been directed toward capturing the unique qualities of high altitude alpine and desert landscapes. I paint directly from the natural environment in order to better perceive and record the particular idiosyncrasies and beauty of nature.”
