Rita Sklar, Neighbor

The wildlife in my paintings is reverently depicted with all the variation in shapes, colors and patterns that birds present. These paintings signal the fundamental dichotomy of the beauty and value of life and the longing for resolution of that which is threatening our planet.

“Bay Area artist Rita Sklar depicts wildlife in her compelling paintings. By choosing species at risk and emphasizing their beauty, Sklar reminds us that the diminishing populations not only are a loss to us but send an urgent warning about the health of our environment.”
