Going beyond the rigidity of realism, Seefeld places a poetic significance on the objects in her still life paintings. She creates that transcendent moment of "full bloom"; just before life begins it's downhill journey to decay.

In her "Sky Pilot Series", birds become emblems of the soul. Capable of flying high above the realities of life, they are also earth walkers, sharing every day existence with all of nature's creatures.

Kay Seefeld endeavors to paint "stilled-life" pieces that test our sense of what is real and significant and what is illusion.
