Gene Kloss immerses the viewer in one of nature’s most singular scenes: a still, calm winter morning dawning over a snow-laden valley. She captures the strange and beautiful contrast of a frozen world shrouded in mist as early light filters through, textured by the twisting limbs of trees and the jagged mountain peaks layered into the horizon. Kloss renders landscapes with a sense of devotion, wanting the viewer to understand what the scene evokes for her: the drama and solitudinal delight of unblemished nature.
