Liane's art journey began at an early age with a passion for textiles, interior design, photography and fashion.
Eventually her dreams of an art-focussed life were put on hold as a legal career and family intervened. Her keen eye for photographic composition led her to drawing and painting the subjects of her photographs. And now, after over 20 years of fitting in an art education at every spare opportunity, Liane is now pursuing her passion for paining full time. Over the years, her work has reflected the richness of her life experience, often focussing in on a carefully selective narrative. Rich in texture, colour and meaning, her paintings are imbued with a sense of fusion between the past and the present. Her figurative paintings are vignettes of everyday human activity, whether at an outdoor market, a horse race, or a quiet moment on a beach, each giving a distinct impression of the character and mood. The objects of her attention are often reflective of a time gone by, whether a scene of laundry on a clothes line drying in the breeze, a reflection of a rusted lock on a barn door or a neglected vintage sign.
Liane’s work is very personal and unique in a way that is both fresh and authentic. Drawn to pattern repetition and often playing with perspective, her works sometimes evoke a kind of whimsy. They are imbued with bold, yet harmonious colours, combined with strong line work and confident design.
Liane's work has been shown in small exhibits at private venues in Toronto and Collingwood, Ontario and online in the ARTWRK, Fresh Exhibit.
