Kay Gregg
An accomplished florist, stylist and musician, Kay traded in her florist’s knife for a palette knife and began her art life journey. This path has taken her from landscapes in oil to expressionistic works using acrylics and many different elements of mixed media. She has studied with a select number of artists who have guided and inspired her development. Kay lives in Peterborough County, northeast of Toronto. Since 2014, Kay has been exhibiting throughout Central Ontario including:
Artist statement
Scraping a palette knife or pulling a brush through an unrestrained palette of colour and texture, can soothe the passion of my joys and sorrows.
A visual artist, I started painting with oils and representational work, then journeyed toward abstract expression. I work with a myriad of mediums, tools, and genres referenced from a comprehensive collection of observations, memories and photographs. Will I paint a landscape today or cut and paste to my heart’s content?
Described as "intriguingly intense" and "visceral", the work is my invitation to share the rawness of emotion – both its strengths and weaknesses, through the abstracts of my art.
