Mary Harvey Sanders Artist's Statement: I try to look at nature and get an impression of what I see, but mainly I use my memory and the vision that I see in my mind to show the vision I have seen in nature. It is a "feeling" of being there on the scene; there is the essence of trees...but not the heavy weight of trees.
