Ailsa J Brown
ABOUT ailsa
I have an abiding belief in the value of creative expression and our spiritual connection to the natural world. I seek to bring positivity, joy and healing to my work, my life and to the lives of those who enjoy my art.
I create mixed media, abstract paintings and wheel thrown clay art that are expressions of our intimate relationship with nature and the oneness of all living things. My primary inspiration comes from the detailed and varied formations on the bark of trees and diverse plant life of the West Coast. These details are magnified with the use of harmonious colour, rich mark making and sensitivity of line, revealing the “feeling” of our heartfelt connection with nature and the emotion of becoming one with it.
