Giedre Abromaitis Paintings with bright, deeply saturated and varied colours
Giedre’s journey in art began after retirement. While always having a love of drawing and sketching, retirement finally allowed Giedre to immerse herself into the world of art. She has also always had a love for the wilderness and has spent much time travelling across Canada, camping, hiking, kayaking, and photographing the scenery in all 4 seasons. She now paints the scenes that she loves in hopes that viewers will understand the importance of preserving and loving our precious natural spaces. The rich colours and shapes evident in the vistas she has seen are translated into her paintings through bright, deeply saturated and varied colours.
Giedre paints in acrylics and oils, sometimes exchanging brushes for palette knives in her paintings. She has studied with many acclaimed Canadian artists and continues to enroll in classes and workshops as she believes there is always something new to learn. She is a member of the Manotick Art Association and is its current President. She is also a member of Arts Carleton Place, The West Carleton Arts Society, and Mastrius.
Giedre’s studio is in her home in North Gower, a rural village just south of Ottawa, where she has lived for over 35 years.
| Artist Statement: Being in nature is a very spiritual experience for me that brings both rejuvenation and joy to my soul. Through my paintings, I seek to bring the feeling of peace, joy and exhilaration to my audience. I love what I paint and paint with my heart and soul. I aim to bring my glimpses into our natural world to my viewers and I hope they will join me in understanding and celebrating nature’s healing power. |
