ISABELLA GARAFFA - her WINTER Collection 2022/23 flourishes... .

Isabella Garaffa was born in Asuncion, Paraguay,   She now lives and creates her artwork in Snowmass Village, where she has been residing for the last many years.  Her most treasured childhood memories are directly connected to her strong passion for the wilderness, which is translated throughout her artwork in very intense detail. Seeing Aspen trees for the first time at the age of twenty two, gave her a fresh approach to recreate them in her studio in later years.

ARTIST STATEMENT 

  

“Shades of Snow” 60 x 60 acrylics. 

"I had so much fun painting this. I am not sure how to explain all the good feelings it gave me, other than to say I’m beyond blessed to do for work what is my absolute passion: to show the world the beauty I see in God’s creation. Maybe you have seen a thousand other paintings of winter landscapes, but you never took this trail with me and saw this mountain from this angle at this exact time of the day with sky light up in a dimmed warm light. I hope you can tell what I felt when I painted this. My hands were frozen and so was the tip of my nose. But I couldn’t walk by this beautiful scene without taking a million pictures and memorizing in my mind every detail I knew my camera will not capture. All so I could bring you back here. In my favorite trail, looking at my favorite mountain. Snowmass."
