About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting was inspired by nature. Sandra Goldie is a Canadian artist whose expressive compositions emulate shapes found in nature--petals, leaves, vines and flowers float throughout the canvas. In this painting, her colour palette suggests a darkened forest—charcoal gray, with blues, flashes of bright yellow, orange and lilac. Goldie begins each piece by creating a backdrop on the bare canvas with sienna or ‘terre verte’ (green earth) colours. Her paintings are lyrical, a result, perhaps, of her early exposure to the freeform rhythm of jazz music. One of a series. “ Kill your Darlings”. It’s a phrase used by filmmakers and writers to describe the process of removing parts that don’t serve the story. I often have to take a breath and remove what I think is a beautiful passage to make the entire composition work. I can then rework the picture. Sometimes you have to be ruthless to make something beautiful.” Sandra Goldie Sandra Goldie pursued her dream of painting after a career as an interior designer by completing a BFA and graduating with distinction from Concordia University. While completing her degree, she opened a gallery for emerging artists in Montreal which she successfully grew for nearly a decade. During this time, the gallery participated in numerous art fairs, including Art Toronto. This second career as a gallerist followed her to the County and Oeno Gallery, where she continued to work with exceptional artists, both emerging and established. A decision to pursue a more personal career has put Goldie back in the studio. Her accumulated experiences from both the design world and the art world now influence her painting.
