The simple beauty of natural forms

Noël Stubblefield stands as a luminary in the realm of artistic expression, wielding her mastery across oil paintings, photography, and now, sculpting. With over two decades of devotion to her craft, she emerges as a seasoned virtuoso, honing her skills under the tutelage of The Florence Academy of Art.

Her journey, marked by a relentless pursuit of beauty, has led her across continents, capturing the essence of diverse cultures and landscapes through her lens. As a stalwart participant in Marin Open Studios, she unveils her soul-stirring creations to a captivated audience, each piece a testament to her unwavering dedication.

Through her evocative words, she shares her vision: "The simple beauty of natural forms is my expressive goal. I continue to search for inspiring images that are sensual or unique in shape and rich in color." This ethos permeates her work, infusing it with a timeless allure that transcends boundaries.

Noël's artistic repertoire knows no bounds, encompassing watercolor, mixed media, and now, the tactile realm of sculpture. Her watercolor paintings, born in 1994, echo with vibrant hues and a fluidity that breathes life into stillness. With each stroke, she beckons silent objects to awaken and dance across the canvas, a testament to her profound connection with the world around her.

As a beacon of creativity in the Bay Area, Noël humbly embraces the opportunity to showcase her latest collection, an exploration of the human spirit encapsulated in her mesmerizing photography series, "Faces of the World." Here, she invites viewers on a transcendent journey, where every face tells a story both animal and human, and every glance reveals the depth of our shared humanity.

In every stroke of her brush, every click of her camera, and every sculpted form, Noël Stubblefield invites us to behold the world through her eyes, where beauty reigns supreme, and art becomes an indelible expression of the human soul.
