Focus - Still Life Paintings

“Phyllis Sloane’s work is dominated by the most marvelous sense of design. This is especially noticeable in her still life paintings where each object is perfectly placed to attain a harmonious, balanced composition.
The items are chosen to provide an interesting juxtaposition of colors, shapes, and patterns so that boxes, flowers, fruit, textiles, and pieces of folk art provide a dynamic interaction of curves and straight lines.”
–– Jane Glaubinger, Curator of Prints, the Cleveland Museum of Art, 1996
