| Artist Bio: |
Blakemore summarized her art as, "These airy, generous prints are delicate fantasies, scenes of a landscape that can exist only in the imagination... The works are light, yet the source of the light is hidden ... It is a light defined by shadows, creating a mood of timeless suspension... subdued coloration and shading; and magical, waving forms together create a locus, a place that is both definite and infinite...". (from Artelino)
