Anne Seltzer, a distinguished artist known for her exceptional talent in capturing the essence of everyday life, brings forth a remarkable collection of paintings that showcase her unique perspective on the world around her. "A Fine Feast" is a journey from the tangible to the abstract, where Anne's artwork transforms ordinary subjects into vibrant and captivating masterpieces. 

"I paint what is around me: the prolific pomegranate tree outside my studio, the big black noisy birds in the park across the street, the table in my kitchen," says Anne Seltzer. "Often I begin with a simple subject and paint, paint, paint... until at some point, colors and shapes will occur to me as the Whole Feast, and what was tame breaks out." 

In this exhibition, Anne's artistry takes center stage as she explores the evolution of representational still life into abstract interpretations. The pomegranates in her bowls burst with life, their colors changing and dominating the canvas. "The 'Feast' is not only the fruit and the big black birds who hunger but is the enjoyment of paint, process, and picture. “Bon appétit!" she adds.
