‘Impressions of Sunflowers’, 16″ x 16″, oil on canvas by Carla Weaver

About the Artist:

My favourite medium is oil, painted with several layers of paint to develop a richness of colour and texture.  I usually paint on a coloured ground, and the subject matter varies, but generally the style of painting involves simplifying forms or ideas into flattened abstract or impressionist shapes. My more recent work has become more abstract, and my abstract work is usually mixed media or acrylic.

I live in Parksville, BC.  I received my art training at the University of British Columbia and the Emily Carr College of Art and Design.  I continue to attend a variety of painting workshops, and I am a member of the DeCosmos Fine Art Society in Parksville and the Nanaimo Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists.  I have been a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists since 1994.
