SMIRK

Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 12" x 18"

Whether sailing Alaska coastal waters or snorkeling Hawaiian shores, V Rae chronicles natural life through bold portraits that leap from the canvas to your heart.  Defying convention in a startling fusion of color and negative space, V paints Freestyle Expressions that transport each personal encounter through time and space, sharing with the world her seamless blend of art, nature and individual personality. Like Humpback whales, V migrates between Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii each year painting from platforms frequented by her subjects.

Artist's narrative: We were anchored in a glassy cove watching the morning drift away when this little fella dropped in for conversation and a snack. His cocky smirk belays a remarkable grasp on environmental concerns, which he was all too glad to share (between bites).
