About this artwork

Acrylic and pastel on cradled wood panel. This work came about from my annual trip to Hornby Island in BC. I am always drawn to the beach and all that it bestows upon us. I love to ramble among the driftwood and smooth rocky shores, always on the loom out for that one precious rock that begs to be picked up, held close in the palm of my hand and caressed.

About the artist

Avatar for Alli van Gruen

Follow

From her animal portraits to her autobiographical work referencing old family slides to her colour infused abstract landscapes… van Gruen is happy to play with multiple subject matters in her art practice. She strives to create a personal relationship between her artwork and her audience, with the ultimate goal of evoking a feeling of intimacy and nostalgia. Using intricate brushwork and an expansive colour palette, she works to express her connections with her subject matter, to tell a story. Alli lives in Whistler, BC with her family and dog Bea. Her work can be found in Whistler and in many private collections in Canada and Europe.
