Conny is primarily a watercolour artist that produces paintings from her home studio. She shows and sells her work independently as well as part of this group, and the Calgary Artists Society.
Conny paints with both watercolours and acrylics, but particularly enjoys the technical challenges that watercolour offers. She finds solace in details and chooses images from her travels that have repetition of form, reflections in glass or water, perspective elements, texture, light, and shadow. These are some of the foundations of all art and Conny likes the purity and honesty they give to her work. Her images are based on her own photography with an occasional image inspired from her brother or mother.
As the detail demonstrates, the process for Conny’s art is labor intensive. Her images, depending on size, can take over 100 hours of studio time each. She begins with a light drawing on 300 lb watercolour paper and fills in her drawing with professional grade watercolours.
The images chosen for this website are pieces that represent the different series that she has completed or are in still in process. Although the majority of these pieces are sold to private collections, they are a reflection of her newest pieces and hint of more to come! Conny’s working as fast as she can.
