I expect to create a visual space where all can feel vulnerable; a language that gives everyone permission to just be human and feel. One purposeful manifesto of this is the raw unfinished areas in the painting, knowing when to halt the “cleaning lady” and give her an other job to do in the house. In this piece, I felt the parts of my life force, passion/desires, erotic energies agitated then barking, then shaking the car to be set free and Live.

Nathalie St-Amant
Salt Spring Island, BC

In 1988, I left the academic art world to experience the rich underground art scene in Montreal away from the country life I grew up in. Dance became a companion to painting and has claimed an equal part of my life. After such a cultural feast, a pull “back to the earth” took me on an unforeseen journey to the west coast of Vancouver Island where I consecrated my soul to the Church of Plein Air. Simultaneously, my inner landscape began to unfold. In 2020 I settled on Salt Spring Island after many travels. My abstract takes me on a venture where the landscapes coalesce with the dance of my psyche. Reality, in its full expression includes the vulnerable visceral and emotional experience.
