FOREST LOVERS
Collection
This new collection embraces OPPOSITES:
Transparent and Opaque Paint
Positive and Negative Space
Foreground and Background
Representational and Abstraction
It’s been exciting to explore these contrasts and see how they play off one another in unexpected ways!
The subject matter initially drew on inspiration from the Edmonton River Valley, trips to Vancouver Island, and tree photos I’ve taken while traveling. These pieces gradually evolved into a more abstract interpretation. Through abstraction, I was able to capture the essence of being among the trees, the density of the bare branches in early spring and the variability of the landscape under foot. There’s a real energy in how the colors came together within each piece, and I hope they bring a dynamic, lively spirit into their final homes.
