Artist Comments
A bison herd grazes on slopes of colorful prairie land. "Using neutral earth tones and throwing in some pops of pink, teal, and orange, you will be pleasantly surprised at this painting that emotes a contemporary take on a western landscape," explains artist Alana Clumeck. She uses oil pastels, acrylic paint, and stencil to create patterns and pops of color depicting a wilderness journey.
About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”
