A fantastic TORNADO oil painting by Gilda Snowden measuring 11x14 inches and framed 16 13/20 x 19 3/4 inches. Signed lower left and dated 91.Gilda Snowden's works reflect the many influences on her artistic development: the urban environment of Detroit, where she continues to work; the loss of her parents in 1987, which forced her to consider the unpredictable nature of life; and a broad knowledge, acquired through her studies of American art history. Her works are often abstract representations of the forces and inner turmoil that drive humanity. Tornado is one of many images of tornadoes that she created in the late 1980s through the 1990s.

Tornado conveys the violence of a storm and implies the emotional upheavals and instability that life offers.Detroiter Gilda Snowden (1954 - 2014) was a graduate of Cass Technical High School, Detroit and Wayne State University, Detroit, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Art and Master of Fine Arts in Painting.
