"I use colour and shape to examine light and perspective in abstraction.  I enjoy taking a familiar subject and creating something new.  There is a promise of something more than what the eye first sees.  The audience is invited to examine the piece from afar and close up to experience it's full expression." - Holly Ann Friesen

I started my professional career as a scientific researcher before turning to the arts.  The examination of life at a micro and macroscopic level is apparent in my painting style. I have always found creativity and art in the careers I have chosen.  Painting is a continuation of my experience.
