About the Artist 
CORINNE ORAZIETTI
 
       The quickest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness - John Muir
I paint from nature because it is what inspires me, grounds me, and gives me
the sense that "all is well in the world."  It is fun to celebrate something so
powerful and beautiful.  I love painting favourite local beaches, magical forests,
or even just the presence of a single magnificent tree. 
 
Sometimes I choose colours which are realistic and natural, but other
times I like to experiment with unexpected choices.  I like the look of brush strokes
and aim to maintain a fairly free and loose style in my work. 
 
I enjoy hearing the connections people make when they see a painting.  It is great
to be able to put a piece out there and see if and how it moves people.  How it affects 
people or why is very personal and beyond my control, but if a painting touches
someone or reminds them of a special time, a favourite place, or just how lucky we 
are to live in such beautiful surroundings, then I am pleased with the result!
