Thin Skinned is one of the birch paintings in the online show, SILENT KINGDOM. These paintings come from wandering and exploring the forests in all seasons. The birches with their self peeling layers and textures are an endless source of inspiration. You can view more of the show at the link in my profile. #onlineartgallery #birchpainting #birchbark #birchtrees #texturedpainting #hollyfriesen #winterpainting #artlovers #seeartnow #canadianartist #landscapepainting

SILENT KINGDOM opens tomorrow as an online exhibition revolving around a year of living in almost complete solitude. Walking became essential and the silent friendship of the trees deepened. The poet Mary Oliver translates tree-speak for us as their leaves call out, ...go easy, be filled with light and shine. This Silent Kingdom of trees inspired and eased me through a challenging year. April 9 - 15th online at @artwrk.ca if you’d like access to the show a day early send ...me a DM for the presale code. #hollyfriesen #landscapepaintingnow #canadianartist #tree #treepaintings #treedefender #forestlover #mtlartist #artlovers

Nobel is delighted to present the work of Holly Friesen for our contemporary artist feature this week! Canadian artist Holly Friesen was born in Saskatchewan, studied Fine Arts at John Abbott College in Montreal and York University in Toronto. Holly’s work revolves around earth-honouring images that reflect and instil connection to local bio-regions. These images internalize a reverence for the earth and shift the intent from harming the world to living in a mutually life enhancing manner. Direct and spontaneous brushstrokes become intuitive movements that follow breath and echo emotional responses to this living breathing vitality. Through a dynamic energetic exchange, Holly feels as though she is being held within an intelligent, sentient field that expresses itself through colors, shapes and movement. Holly sees painting as a deep prayer awakening a reverence for the earth’s inner landscape. Holly uses painting as a vessel to channel the energy of nature and earth in the landscapes she depicts.
