Artist Statement


Doug McFarland


My artwork is the fusion of an image and emotion into a final impression of the experience I had at a place in time.

Each piece always begins with a photographic image and the emotion of the moment when it was taken. I then blend that emotion into the static image by teasing apart and highlighting elements of the image until it finally represents as much a mood and emotion as a place in time. Each piece shows the dynamic beauty of resonance over the reality of the moment.
