SIT'N BESEIDER

Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 16" x 12"

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: Aleutians behind.  Arctic ahead, pulled forward by choreogaphed strokes of memory past, in the gentle draft of my King Eider.  He turns colors when I call him that, but I don't see the other girls nesting down with fresh mollusk pate on eelgrass and pinch of coastal algae.  I just smile and thank my Proveider.
