Nature and Humanity Works by Sue A. Miller & Aleksandra Kalinic
NATURE & HUMANITY - WORKS BY SUE A. MILLER & ALEKSANDRA KALINIC Aquamaris Art Gallery
Growing up in rural Ontario, Sue A. Miller spent most of her time exploring her natural surroundings, the forests, wetlands, and waterways, keenly tuned into the often overlooked magic and interconnected web between nature and humanity. Inspired by imprints that have influenced her life since childhood, she creates richly textured oil paintings and, through her art, embarks on a personal exploration of that primal connection with a sense of calm, comfortable solitude. Her journey is motivated by the abstracted interplay of environment and metaphors of human existence.
Having studied Fine Art and graduated from Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario in 1986, Sue A. Miller established a steady presence in the Canadian art scene, as a professional artist, art educator and curator. Now warmly welcomed to Aquamaris, Sue is represented by art galleries in Ontario and British Columbia. Her work is held in private collections across North America, Europe and Japan.
Award winning artist Aleksandra Kalinic delivers music for the eyes with playful light, glorious colours, and rich textures. In eloquentt impressionist brush strokes, she masterfully captures slice of life moments and universal themes centered on our humanity. In her “Self-Portrait” Aleksandra celebrates the art of portraiture by rendering her likeness using colours that convey confidence, elegance and passion.
