It’s Pouring Art by Gayle

Abstract Visual and Functional Art

My creative journey has taken me from music to writing to painting. On a whim, I began dabbling with acrylic paint pouring and found my happy place! Largely self-taught in this medium, I am inspired by colour and motion and the emotions they evoke. The ultimate creative moment comes as I pour the paint – there is that moment of letting go and allowing the paint to flow as it will that I find totally compelling. Every pour is unique, an opportunity to learn and grow and embrace what is. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, I work on commissioned artwork and teach the art of paint pouring. I believe that art belongs in all aspects of our lives and so, in addition to painting on canvas, I produce functional art such as tables, clocks, trays, glassware, boxes, and jewelry. It is my hope that through my art I can share the joy I experience when I am in creative “flow”!
