Renata Bradshaw is a landscape artist based out of Burlington, Ontario. Renata works primarily in pastel, enjoying the rich colour and luscious texture of the medium. With a background in Outdoor Education and a love of being in the outdoors, Renata is inspired by the beauty of the Canadian landscape and often enjoys sketching right from her canoe. Combining outdoor painting with studio work, Renata’s aim is to share not only the natural beauty of the land around us, but also to evoke feelings of peace, and the therapeutic quality of nature with the viewer.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

ARTIST STATEMENT
It has been proven that people benefit from spending time in nature. I feel a great sense of well-being when immersed in a natural environment especially when surrounded by a lake or other body of water. Through my paintings of natural spaces, it is these feelings of well-being that I aim to share with others. It is my hope that the images I capture evoke in the viewer the feelings of peace and inner joy that these beautiful places bring me.
