An elegant oil painting of an abstract angel in a sophisticated color palette.

This composition is rich in layers of color and detail. Her ornate hat is emphasized through brushwork, line and shape. Her luminous gloves and expressive garment showcase a level of excellence.

The Renaissance period, Classicism and Cubism are primary references for my work. I always begin in the representational and let the work evolve into the abstract or remain representational. Although divergent in process, my work at its core remains connected to the inspirations from which they were conceived. The subject matter whether portraiture, figurative, still life or landscape are important. And yet, the true subject and passion always lies in balance, symmetry, structure, shapes and spacial relationships.

[The artist actively exhibits her paintings including Bergdorf Goodman, New York. Her work is collected internationally and she keeps studios in Canada, France, Japan and India].

All organic motifs and symbols are for the delight and interpretation of the viewer. This figurative angel has been featured on holiday note cards.

The vintage mid century wood frame is a lovely finishing touch for this magnificent painting. It's old, has some imperfections and age related wear.
