Creature Comforts represents the love and companionship between humans and animals. Our connection to nature has been severed for many and this piece invites the viewer to remember to love all creatures, great and small, no matter how foreign to us. Technically, this was an exploration of painted textures and lighting using a very limited palette.
About the Artist:
Margaret Chiaro uses figurative painting to invite the viewer to enter a unique world or moment. Spending hundreds of hours on a single piece, painting everything by hand in traditional techniques, she obsessively renders her subjects, caught in moments when they are open and expressive. Through her chosen genre, Magical Realism, she fuses reality with imagination to create a visceral new “world” for the subject to dwell in and the viewer to observe.
Margaret has been an ACE Arts Instructor and Volunteer since 2018 and an Art Shop Vendor since 2020.
