Gwen Tellier
SOA
Gwen Kroon-Tellier is a self taught Canadian artist based in Penticton, British Columbia. Originally from southern Alberta; she has been dedicated to creative exploration since the mid-1970’s.
Now working in abstract painting and mixed media, Gwen combines acrylic paint, collage and a variety of tools to create layered, intuitive compositions.
Inspired by nature, color texture and symbolism; her work reflects a deep appreciation for process and the expressive power of material.
Creating from her studio in the Okanagan Valley, Gwen continues to explore abstraction as a space for reflection, discovery and creative freedom.
Artists Statement: Layers of Intuition and Memory
My work explores intuition, symbolism and the layered language of materials. Through paint, texture, collage and fragments of text, I build surfaces where meaning slowly emerges and shifts over time.
My paintings evolve through an intuitive process of layering. Symbols and marks emerge, disappear and reappear within the surface; reflecting memory, language and personal narrative. Each piece becomes a record of discovery shaped by both instinct and material.
