Calgarian Becky Holuk creates vibrant abstract landscapes using acrylic paint. Experiencing the natural beauty of Canadian landscapes gives her an opportunity to 'observe, record and reflect' for later artistic pursuits in the studio. Her bold, impressionistic brushstrokes create depth and movement that capture the majestic vitality of the Canadian Rockies and the West Coast.
"When I paint, it's the memories of a place - the atmosphere and feelings I recall which influence and shape my creative process. As I layer paint, shapes emerge and change until the moment comes when the painting is finished and I can say yes, this is what I remember. This is the beauty and joy I experienced that particular day!"
