A Canadian Maritime artist, Patty Fares works primarily in oil on canvas and chalk pastel, creating impressionist and expressionist works that capture the essence and atmosphere of the natural world.
Her art explores the intricate patterns found in nature — from the reflection of ancient trees in still water to the delicate interplay of light through forest canopy. Each piece is born from an intuitive, process-driven approach where the painting evolves with its own energy.
“The first touch of paint on canvas leads to the excitement of the unknown, evolving and growing into something that exists as part of myself yet part of an energy all its own.”
— Patty FaresEvery creation begins in nature — watching, absorbing, discovering the intricate patterns in every puddle, tree, and fallen log.
The first touch of paint on canvas leads to the excitement of the unknown. A dialogue begins between artist and medium.
Brush strokes, lines, and patterns come to fruition. The painting grows and is shaped into something new — an energy all its own.
Many years of wisdom to trust the evolution of paintings and know when to stop nurturing — to simply admire the finished piece.
Small chalk pastel studies created as a daily practice — intimate, expressive pieces that capture fleeting moments of light and atmosphere each morning.
