Heartland

Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 inches 

“This artwork uses an abstract background to portray the serene beauty of the rural landscape. The central feature is a rustic barn evoking a sense of peace and solitude. The harmonious interplay of colors and composition captures the tranquility found in nature. It's a perfect embodiment of life in the countryside.”

Loretta Kaltenhauser is an established, contemporary, award-winning Canadian artist. She creates works that are either abstract or have landscape elements to them. Using various brushes and palette knives, Loretta layers, subtracts, and manipulates acrylic paint on canvas to synthesize an intricate and distinct tableau. Colours and shapes take on an energy of their own, and each subsequent layer of texture and colour she adds reinterprets her thoughts and emotions. Loretta Kaltenhauser's works can be found in private collections in Canada, the United States, and the U.K.
