Oceana, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Inspired by her deep fondness for ocean botanicals, artist Autumn Rose paints a spirited underwater garden of corals, kelp, and anemones. "I love exotic sea life and how it truly is a whole other world of beauty," says Autumn. She creates a sense of continuous movement, evoking the perfect combination of peace and joy. Using seafoam turquoise to express the ocean depth, Autumn adds dramatic black for the coral reef's backdrop. She also applies bits of line work for added detail and interest.

About the Artist
Artist Autumn Rose paints expressionist botanical arrangements, finding endless inspiration in the colors of her daily life. "I am constantly driven to paint in a free-spirited style with lots of movement, big strokes, and vitality," says Autumn. She employs various media and tools to generate texture and depth in her work. Guided by intuition rather than plan, Autumn creates floral and herbage explorations with a notable focus on still life. Pastel pinks and greens are typical colors across her body of work, applied onto darker backgrounds, resulting in dramatic effects. Autumn creates intriguing layers and definitive linework, offering a delightful variety of visual cues. She affectionately calls her workspace in Phoenix a "shudio," since it is a conversion from a shed in her backyard. The area receives incredible light and breathtaking views of her desert garden whenever she paints. "It's always my hope that when someone sees my art, they will feel a sense of wonder and joy."
