About the Item
This contemporary abstract painting inspired by nature is by Pat Service.
The allure of the open road has long been a favourite subject for this Canadian artist. And with that artist’s eye, she has re-imagined the view she held while driving through the rocky mountains. Renowned for her beautiful landscapes, Service has pared down details to the essentials in this striking minimalist series of mountain landscapes.
The form mimics rolling hills, expressed in a rich complex palette of colors—deep blue, alabaster, gold, and green in this piece. Service applied layer upon layer of thin paint to achieve this lush effect rather than mixing the colors together and applying them in one application.
“As I moved quickly along the highway, visions of what I saw out of the corner of my eye would come and go. The mountain becomes stretched out, and whatever else is there, a field, a parkway, and a foreground is simplified by the speed.” Pat Service
“At the core of Service’s work is a deep attention to the medium of paint and also to the effects of lines and other marks.” Beverly Cramp, arts writer/author
Pat Service acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of B.C. and later studied art at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. Service’s work is held in private collections in North America, Britain, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Pat Service is represented exclusively by the Oeno Gallery.

Pat Service
Canadian artist Pat Service has been creating expressive, intensely colourful acrylic paintings for several decades. Born in the small coastal town of Port Alberni on
Vancouver Island, the beautiful, rugged shoreline, mountain vistas and ancient forests influenced both the subject and style of her work. She is known for her ability to capture the subtleties of light as they appear in the sky and water. Her brushstrokes also emulate the textures she observes in nature. Her use of thinned out paint allows for more transparency in colours and is a feature of her work. Service’s subjects are landscapes, florals, animals and still lifes. “Living close to nature for the first 12 years of my life indelibly imprinted on me an identity with trees fields, creeks, lakes, dirt, rocks, the sun, the sky, gardens, plants,
flowers, roads, and so on. Every time I start a new painting I am attempting to honour and seal that connection.”(Pat Service) Service attended the University of British Columbia where she acquired her Bachelor of Arts degree. Her husband’s career took her to Scotland where she attended classes at the Glasgow School of Art. Her early influences were the Scottish artists whose brushwork and colour choices were reminiscent of the popular Post-Impressionist French painters. Service also lived in Eastern Canada and Venezuela but in 1972, the family moved back to Vancouver, B.C. She continued to paint and attended several artist’s workshops in the U.S. and Canada. Following numerous experiences at the renowned Emma Lake Professional Artist Workshops in Saskatchewan, (where she met a community of abstract painters including Milly Ristvedt), Service began to change her approach to her work. Traditional landscapes gave way to a more liberated, abstract style in colour and form. “Working side by side with abstract artists, I began to envy their freedom to invent colour relationships and focus on mark making. The energy and excitement that comes with that kind of innovation, I wanted some of that. Up to then, I had worked closer to nature, not in a very detailed way but my work always had a clear reference to the real world. Now I began to liberate myself from that close connection and trust the casual references that can evoke a world of its own.” (Pat Service) She has exhibited widely throughout Canada and internationally. Service’s paintings are in numerous private, corporate collections and several museum collections around the world.
