Meet the artist/owner of Arbour Heights Studio
Jo-Anne Gazo-McKim
I am an abstract expressionist painter. When I begin painting I face a blank canvas and generally have no idea where the finished painting will end up. That is part of the excitement, frustration and journey in the process
I will experiment freely at the beginning. I love asymmetrical shapes, bold colours, marks and energetic rhythms.
I keep adding layers until something excites me or captures my attention. I step back frequently to see what is going on in the painting .
I work in a series of four or five paintings at one time. This stops me from fixating on just one and informs what I might do in another.
When a painting is completed the canvas surface has many layers which adds to its depth, nuance and complexity
I am excited each time I go into the studio to paint, because I look forward to the new things I will discover that day.
When you decide to buy a painting, you are not just purchasing art. Something in the piece excites or intrigues you. This is your connection to the artist’s soul, heart and a small piece of his/her life.
Your new art purchase will enrich your life and be enjoyed for many years to come.
