SERENE

Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 12" x 16"

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: Beneath the mascara only our eyes convey the spectrum of life in each passing day: Sparks of delight, warm glow affection; a flash of raw fright, deep pool reflection; sharp shard anger, pain filled rejection; relief in forgiveness, thankful introspection.  Emotions that speak to eyes that can hear.  Good friends, or lover who see through the tear.
