Jill Slaymaker, a painter of fantastic and natural subjects, contrasts warm, idyllic nature scenes with Dadaesque pictographs. These paintings explore the relationship between nature and modern man.

The artist's reverence for nature is particularly apparent in the vast skies she paints, intended to bring to mind mysteries of the unknown: death, God, the heavens, as well as a sense that "nature is greater and more powerful than we mere humans."
