Artist Statement
SUE GOOSSENS
Sue Goossens’ compositions are loosely constructed and introduce the eye of the viewer anew to the natural subjects she prefers. The palette is vibrant and the colour is saturated. The evidence of the hand of the artist is minimal on the paper. Sue Goossens has a distinct watercolour style has which is easily recognizable. Her paintings are represented in both private and corporate collections throughout Canada and beyond.
"Watercolours are a means of creative expression. Everything starts with my camera - capturing the composition. I enjoy the process of observing my surroundings and interpreting them on a blank piece of watercolour paper. I am always examining my environment for interesting subject matter." Sue is active in creating opportunities to bring her art and the work of fellow artists to the public by way of art shows and studio tours. Inviting her audience to her home and its rural surroundings allows her to introduce them to the landscapes they know so well through her art. Sue Goossens lives with her husband, Brian, near the village of Otterville, Ontario.
Artist Statement
Cathy Groulx OSA
Having lived in urban centres most of my life, I have come to enjoy the rural areas where I now live. Nature calls me to capture snipets/ close ups of the area I call home. I enjoy painting themes that are mostly devoid of a human presence. Quiet and peaceful views are such a pleasant change to the hustle and bustle of the world we call home. Enjoy the peace and tranquilly of staring at these images, a restful pause.
