About Artist;
Darlene began painting full time ten years ago. Her work utilizes synthesis or stylization – an approach that came into Eurocentric art from Japan in the mid 1800s. Many of Canada’s great landscape painters (Lawren Harris being an obvious example) have done this. Darlene makes her approach unique by using strong (high key) colour and uniting smaller shapes into larger, more powerful areas by controlling her values. Her love of the abundant beauty so characteristic of the Canadian landscape is clear. What is especially impressive is that she has developed a unique and very personal approach that “feels” Canadian.
In spring 2019, the award-winning Rocky Mountaineer, which provides luxury train travel through the Rocky Mountains, commissioned Darlene to travel by train and paint the mountains for a Canadian Rockies series. Later in December 2019, Darlene was the featured artist in the AGO Art Rental and Sales Holiday Guide.
Currently, Darlene is focusing her creative efforts on developing a recognizable, signature Kulig Canadian landscape.
She is also planning her next travel destination for a new series of paintings.
A member of the Etobicoke Art Group and the Neilson Park Creative Centre, where she studies and paints, you can find her work in galleries across Canada and the United States, as well as in private collections around the world.
