To contact me: |
|
Working in oils and pastels, Plater paints the figure, landscape, and interpretive portraiture. A colorist by nature, she is also a passionate observer of the idiosyncratic in art and in life. Often drawing information from her extensive travels in Europe, Africa and elsewhere, she seeks to demonstrate in her work that aesthetics and equity can co-exist. |
