Having moved to Toronto, Canada, she is working on building her presence in this very lively contemporary art focused community. Her work is still realism based but more into the impressionistic, expressionistic vein. She tries to not only represent the physical aspect of the subject matter but also the emotional and ephemeral. To paint what lies within or beneath, or as she puts it in her blog, "To paint the Edge of a Dream, what lies underneath and moves through all." That's what she wants to reveal in her work no matter if painting a luscious berry or a woman's sorrow or joy. As she says, "Art can MOVE people, move them to do or be something positive, better, kinder, more compassionate and I try to do that in my work. Also, some times, it's just to express the absolute stunning beauty of the moment, and I hope to capture and express that feeling, that emotion, in my work".
Gwen has been accepted into shows both regional and national in scope. Her work hangs in public and private collections in Canada, the United States and in the Philippines. Gwen is currently represented at "Modern Country Interiors" in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is preparing for exhibition in Toronto. For a CV or more information please feel free to email her.
