Welcome to the Gallery of Nan Kritzler

Can an abstract image tell us something about reality? Why do we perceive what we do? Are our perceptions similar? How does our culture and personality affect what we perceive?

I love the magic of nature. I look for an essential quality of some small part of the world and attempt to illustrate what I sense. The idea is not for the viewer to see what I see, but to find one's own personal concept of the image.

Some images come from observation and other images come from my imagination. Most images come from a combination of both or from something other than myself. I hope you enjoy the images on this site.
