Watching I & II -- These
two paintings can be viewed together as a diptych or stand on their
own. The drawing of the wolf signifies loyalty, intelligence,
communication. Asian lore has the wolf guarding the door that allows
entrance into higher realms. The door is higher up in the painting,
black surrounded by red. The rectangular shape symbolizes quartz,
which has many, many applications in scientific, religious, and
healing ways. The hawk figure on the right is also a powerful symbol,
signifying the messenger, guardian, and keen observer. The collaged
doors at the top of both paintings are a photo I took in Mexico –
the two doors are of a carved woman and means to me angels, love,
feminine spirit, entrance into joy.
The painting is mixed media: acrylic,
pencil, watercolor crayon. Drawings and photos are on archival Rives
BFK paper and collaged onto the canvas. -- Ingrid Lustig, October
2008

About Ingrid Lustig: A
professional artist for 20 years, Ingrid works with acrylic on canvas
and paper with a strong devotion to color and form used in a symbolic
way. "I like to keep my paintings fresh, so they look like they
are still in the process of being created, even when they are
finished." Ingrid moved to Bend, Oregon in 2000 from Pendleton,
where she was executive director of Crow's Shadow Institute for the
Arts, on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. During the '70s, she
worked for wildlife conservation groups, including three years as
director of a predatory animal center in the California mountains
near Reno, Nevada. Her nonprofit group traveled to schools to bring
the message that predators like wolves, bears and cougars are an
essential link in the ecosystem. Ingrid holds a Bachelors of Fine
Arts from Washington State University at Pullman. She has enjoyed
success as an artist and painter and exhibited in numerous solo and
group exhibitions in the Northwest. In addition to her professional
art career, Ingrid is the Education Director for Arts Central, the
Central Oregon regional arts council located in Bend, Oregon. High
Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is honored to
exclusively represent Ingrid Lustig in Central Oregon.
