As a plein air landscape painter, Phyllis Shafer searches for compositional arrangements that lend themselves to narrative possibilities. She is especially interested in the pantheistic quality of high altitude vistas juxtaposed to the intimate microcosm of the flora and fauna. These explorations of spatial extremes, for her, refer to the relationship between “world” and “self.” By probing beneath surface appearances, Shafer tries to reveal a nature that relates to bodily and psychological states of being.
