For many years painter Kyle Staver has crafted warm-hearted paintings that gracefully recall private situations tinged with joie de vivre. Domesticated couples appear as broadly brushed nudes in connubial situations. Other figures, often modeled on friends and family, are rendered with affection. Intimacy and nostalgia pervade Staver's settings: they are the bedrooms, gardens and seashores of her memory. Her friend and fellow artist Thomas Wharton has this to say about Staver's paintings: "They contain the joy of being alive."
