Laura Sanders captures the most vulnerable expressions.  I have kept the top painting which is entitled “Faye” on my computer screen for the past two years.  I know that look.  She’s determined to swim but just barely keeping her head above water.  I’m sure her mother or father are close by in the lake, arms extended and encouraging.  Or maybe they aren’t.  One way or another, this girl ain’t goin’ down…

Rebecca Ibel Gallery represents Laura Sander’s work and believe me in person it is even more magical.
