This is a rare thing, a Kootenay Artist with some formal training and credentials. 

Not that that is required or necessarily a good thing, but it's in contrast to many of the others I've featured.

I admire the spontaneity of it...and in an odd way it kind of works. And you might think I'm being facetious, but I do find much to admire in people who proceed without the self-doubts or inner monologue that plague others, that sees them execute an idea without any great planning or reflection. 

That said, I'm definitely not that guy. Or, better put, I'm that guy in a vehicle with no clutch, brakes or transmission, but I'm not that guy with a paintbrush.

Kaitlin Pirart, currently showing at Oso Negro, thick impasto acrylic flowers raised off wood panels. 

Glossy, almost ceramic in appearance.

I like the technique.
