June Blumberg

My paintings are explorations of my feelings and fantasies.  I paint animals and people because they make me incredibly happy.  I project my fantasies and inner pain onto them and pretend they are sharing my feelings.  I want people to love the animals and people as much as I do and find peace.  Also, I paint myself since I am a willing model and know myself well.

Animals also need my help.  Monkeys and lions are on the endangered list.  I present animals in a positive light so people would want to help instead of fearing them or hurting them.
