This Member's Showcase features Artists in Canada's Active Membership who are dedicated to producing new artwork and crafts. Find Canadian art from paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolour, as well as mixed media, photography, drawings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, wood working and jewelry. Pay no commissions. All transactions are with the artist unless represented by Artists in Canada. Prices are the same as dealing with the artist.
I tore through the prints and stencils I judged as "rejects" and stitched them together as symbolic gesture of healing and building something new and positive from the fragments of the past.
A contemporary Canadian painting that weaves a visual story on canvas. On Top of Nanaimo Bars all covered in winter. A figure skater wearing a toque and red sweater, blowing a bubble is perched on top of a stack of Nanaimo bars, with Candy colours below. She holds a string of ice that flows into a vase or vessel, from which daffodil flowers burst. An icy lake and bridge behind with sky of violet blue peering through the trees.
Taking a break to appreciate the air, the night sky and breath in the icy coolness at the outdoor hockey spot. Staring at the sky and the northern lights, a hockey net in the distance, three girls sit. Inspired by the pureness of the game outdoors, there may be a future Spooner, Poulin or Nurse waiting to take the ice.
A trifecta of figure skaters spinning on the ice. Aerial view looking down on the tops of their heads as they spin.
A triptych that rolls down to the right at a 45-degree angle, it feels like a pale blue waterfall of light that creates a path for the Indigenous pow wow dancers to progress towards the shaman at the bottom.
A black pine tree knot. Planted across southern parts of Canada along busy roadways and found in many gardens, black pine can withstand exhaust fumes, neglect, and harsh weather. It also has beautiful bark. This tree stands in North Vancouver and I periodically check up on it as it grows wider and taller. Please see my website for other artworks available. http://jannakumi.com/ If you would like to explore commissioning work, contact me or check out my website and read all about the process under the heading Commissions/Buybacks. It costs the same as buying a ready-made piece and if you're not satisfied, return for a full refund. That's how easy it is.
