Anastasia Zinkerman

Anastasia Zinkerman is a pastel artist and nature photographer whose landscapes and still lifes capture the quiet, inspirational beauty of her favorite places: coastal Connecticut, where she lives, as well as the woods and mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, where she also spends a great deal of time. She achieves a tranquil mood by using textured paper and a soft technique, and she favors a muted palette that sets off one or two bright colors—the red skin of an apple, or green stalks of sea grass.

“I love the colors of nature: a moody gray sky above a tidal marsh in Connecticut, with green and gold sea grass bending in the breeze; or tall, dark pines surrounding a calm lake in New Hampshire. I am fascinated by how these landscapes constantly change, depending on the weather and time of day. I find myself at peace and more connected with the world when I’m in a beautiful environment. Showing details does not interest me as much as conveying the feeling of being in a place. I consider my work a success when viewers comment that they feel relaxed and at peace with themselves.”
