ABOUT
Meet The Artist
Inspired by the powerful symbolism and visceral quality of water, her work is informed by the waterscapes and habitat of the Midwest.
Schetski has shown her work nationally and has been published in the Coulee Region Women Health and Living Magazine and Photography Forum Magazine. She has also received grants to support visiting artists.
I am captivated by water in all its magnificent forms and meanings. After experiencing major medical issues I rediscovered the work of Dr. Emoto. His research observes how water crystal form after having positive affirmations and prayer being spoke to them.
Water has the ability to transform, and adapt in all situations, from the change of seasons, to its path along a river. For me, water is energizing and refreshing. I feel more alive when I’m able to sit by rushing water and observe the soothing sounds of its’ movement or observing nature while kayaking on a body of water.
The work resonates scenes of water and the habitat that depend on it for survival. I enjoy working in layers as this practice is similar to my observations of nature. Observing each scene as a whole and then examine it closer and observing the little details that are often times over looked.
I am interested in the exploration of the world from a macro observation to a micro inspection. Building layers of color and depth are an innate part of my practice, from my artistic development as a printmaker. Other vehicles used in my practice are photography, drawing, painting and fiber arts. The goal, and hopes of my work is to create a quiet reflective space for the viewer to contemplate their own journey, to quiet the mind and feel a sense of connectedness to nature, peace and/or wonder as they get lost in the layers and details of the art.
