April 2025 Featured Artist: Fay Wyles

Fay’s creative process is rooted in plein air painting, where she captures field studies and color notes from the seascapes and landscapes that inspire her. Working outdoors allows her to immerse herself fully in the scene, translating the natural light, atmosphere, and mood directly onto canvas. These smaller, spontaneous studies provide the foundation for her larger studio works, where she refines and amplifies the initial inspiration into powerful compositions. This balance between plein air exploration and studio refinement gives her art a dynamic energy, capturing both the raw beauty of the moment and a deeper, more considered interpretation.
