Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 12" X 18"

Whether sailing Alaska coastal waters or snorkeling Hawaiian shores, V Rae chronicles natural life through bold portraits that leap from the canvas to your heart.  Defying convention in a startling fusion of color and negative space, V paints Freestyle Expressions that transport each personal encounter through time and space, sharing with the world her seamless blend of art, nature and individual personality. Like Humpback whales, V migrates between Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii each year painting from platforms frequented by her subjects.

Artist's narrative: My husband says I tolerate behavior in birds and animals that I'd never countenance in people. I admit this guy is pushy, demanding and stuffs enough nuts down his throat to trigger my gag reflex, but he shares one of my husband's more endearing qualities: he adores me ;-)
