​Joni Scully

My work is representational and metaphoric. I do not attempt to copy reality, but rather to recreate it. I have no interest in sentiment, politics, hidden messages or illustration in my paintings and drawings. The work tells me what to do. It is only about itself and composition is paramount. It is my desire to create work that gives evidence to anyone who sees it that it is possible to transcend the mundane, to look passionately at the world around us and to make that “metaphor” that is bigger than life in whatever one’s occupation. Art’s greatest reward for me continues to be the startling discovery of a constant new sense of things.
