From Foltz Fine Art:
“In Canyonlands of Texas, Jeri Salter, one of the state’s foremost pastel artists and regionalist painters, captures the majesty surrounding Palo Duro Canyon—120 miles cut through the Caprock Escarpment in the Texas Panhandle. Carved and created over millions of years, this formation is the second largest canyon in United States (next to the Grand Canyon) with dramatic geologic features, multicolored rock strata, and steep mesas. Fascinated by this lesser known and traveled area, Salter frequently adventures from her Hill Country home to the Panhandle and West Texas, dedicated to capturing the natural world – its majestic mountains and rolling plains, the ever-changing weather and big skies of Texas, and livestock grazing by the side of the highway. Her paintings capture places frozen in time, often reminding the viewer of their own memories of past journeys and personal experiences in similar lands. As Salter beautifully captures the effect of “the faraway nearby” of the American Southwest in her paintings, it is these remote locales that evoke within her an emotional sense of “searching” and continue to pull her back for more.”
