“Big Fish Camp”, acrylic on linen, 94x80”

Satterfield's artist statement reads, "As a painter, I define Nature as a complex of interrelated systems working in a dynamic process to support life in all its infinite possibilities. Nature fascinates me. I study it with awe and curiosity. This inquiry stimulates me emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, and I often see particular combinations of things in Nature that present me with concepts and a highly personalized vocabulary of visual associations that inspire my paintings."

Foad has a new book, "Toward Insight" that he will talk about and share with the public during an Art Talk in the 1337 Gallery, Saturday, April 6 at 11am. Please join us for the talk and receptions this April at Art Works Downtown. A student exhibit will run simultaneously in the Underground Gallery, highlighing works by Dominican University student artists. Join us to learn more about the art happening at Dominican University of California.
