Featured artist: Rosalie Olson

We are so excited to welcome local Winnipeg artist Rosalie Olson to the boutique's gallery wall. Rosalie works in watercolour, acrylic, mixed media and oil. She expresses her creative spirit through an experimental painting process that involves layers and layers of blended yet bold colour combinations and intriguing textual marks. Her work intentionally invites a different emotional response viewing up close than from afar. Rosalie is passionately drawn to create art that reflects her awe of the beauty of nature and through colour and texture, strike a poetic balance between expressionism and abstract art.
