I have been living in Nova Scotia for six years, and am a member of The Crossroad Artists in Tantallon, and a member of The Peggy's Cove Area Arts Society, showing my work at the Hubbard's Barn Opening Night, The Prow Gallery, and the annual Peggy's Cove Area Festival of the Arts Studio Tour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am from a large family of creatives, artists, artisans and makers. Depending on the subject or whether I am painting an abstract, landscape or portrait—I will use either oils or acrylics and sometimes collage. \r\u003cbr\u003eMy style fluctuates between realism and abstract expressionism, inspired by the beauty and power of nature, dreams and meditation. I love the expressive and spontaneous freedom that abstract painting gives me. Running parallel to my painting and career in graphic design, was my involvement in the healing arts, with a Masters in Holistic Counselling and various holistic therapies, clinical hypnotherapy, meditation and dream work. It's in my nature to delve into my own and others' hearts, minds and souls, and hope that my artwork connects viewers with those realms within themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"force-of-nature","title":"Force of Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e56x32x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by the wild crashing waves near Peggy's Cove on a rainy day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cecilia Humphrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42345533571175,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1775573888_91851.jpg?v=1775649451"},{"product_id":"red-calla-lilies","title":"Red Calla Lilies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e26x18x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cecilia Humphrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42345533866087,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1775575852_51520.jpg?v=1775649463"},{"product_id":"reawakening-1","title":"Reawakening","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36x18x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cecilia Humphrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42345533964391,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1775577078_74885.jpg?v=1775649477"},{"product_id":"of-her-own-volition","title":"Of Her Own Volition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic, oil crayon, and tissue paper on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24x24x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of my unplanned, spontaneous abstracts, using tissue paper, acrylics and oil crayon.
