My piece 'Red Scales' is an acrylic swipe with a continuous red, orange and blue gradient with fantastic dark brown/ purple contrasting cells throughout the painting in a beautiful pattern through the center. A technique called "swiping" was used to incorporate the dark contrast throughout the piece forming hundreds of beautiful cell patterns. After the cells had developed I tilted the canvas while it was still wet until the design was perfect.
Red Scales is ready to hang vertically and horizontally, depending on your preference. I constructed a frame with .5 inch spacing encompassing the work with a dark walnut stained frame giving a dark classy mood to this bright artwork.
I live my life in color! I am optimistic and express myself through my artwork and grew up inspired by the vibrancy of life. If I can spread joy to others through my artwork in this way I consider this a huge success. I am Dutch Canadian passionate about art who grew up on a farm with my art in local galleries in my early life. I then moved to Toronto and taught children hands on Art and Sciences. Every original piece is uniquely part of me from start to finish.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
All art I create is original, photographed and designed by me. I incorporate a method of painting called "Acrylic Pouring" that gives my pieces fantastic close-up abstract bubbles and details. Every canvas and frame of mine is 100% handmade and has a unique creativity that speaks to my colorful personality. I use high-grade artistic acrylic paints and complete each piece with a varnish or artistic resin to seal, protect and preserve them against ageing, sunlight and yellowing. Lastly, I construct each frame with locally sourced lumber, sand and stain each frame and attach it to its canvas.
Thank you for supporting original art.
