Mildred Kaye is an internationally recognized artist
whose pictures have won her recognition for their
originality and mythic character. Her images have
graced the walls of academic and corporate settings
as well as commercial galleries.

Kaye is a visionary artist who portrays the
material and spiritual worlds as contiguous and
at times overlapping. Her work seems to reflect a
spirit of classical paganism enlivened by a cosmic vision
and sense of humor. She has been described as a
Romantic Surrealist. Some of her prints draw on childhood
memories. Mythology lends inspiration for other works
which she fashions into dreamscapes of classical serenity.

Statement:
I reach into the worlds of Imagination and myth for visions
to use for my own artistic journey. To impart reality to this
fantasy world, I resort to the Surrealist’s oldest tricks:
craftsmanship and realistic rendering.
Craftsmanship turns Illusion into Reality.

To paraphrase Thomas Edison, my creations depend
on 40% inspiration (the vision); 30% perspiration
(the craftsmanship and rendering),
and 30% composition.

My imagery would be meaningless if it were woven into a
piece that did not work visually. Although I play with
line, depth and value, color is my favorite playground.
I revel in it. Over the years, the quality
of my color has changed. I can almost date any of
my prints by the quality of that year’s color.
It has been soft, it has been cold, more recently
it has run to hot and fiery. I am beginning to see
myself switch to lighter more glowing color.
Only time will tell.
