 Pet Portraits by Artist Eileen Dotzler |
Born in Vancouver B.C., moving to a farm in Northern Alberta can be a challenge. For me it was like coming home. I love being close to nature and living beside the wilderness.
Nature and art have always been my passion. Throughout the years I have farmed (beef cattle) , raised two children and taken numerous Art classes and workshops.
Recently when my children reached college age, I decided to take my passion for art seriously. To my ultimate delight my family have also taken this seriously ,got together one summer and built my precious studio in the trees behind the house.
I usually work in acrylics on canvas, but have recently discovered Fresco (painting done on plaster) .The technique is Fresco "Secco" or dry Fresco ,like Leonardo Da Vinci used on the" Last Supper".All fresco can be hung as they are or mounted on a frame (please inquire ,a handmade frame is available on request).
I find the Fresco to add greater depth and transparency to the acrylics ,I also like the surface flaws which add character to the work, giving it that just pulled off the wall feeling.
I am inspired by light and the play of light on subjects. I usually paint animals and nature but occasionally, paint people and do pencil drawings of pets.
