Doris Wilson
Doris moved to Courtenay in 2010 from Regina, SK after working as a music teacher. She joined the Art Group of the Comox Valley at a ‘Newcomers’ meeting. She had always wanted to paint but never took the time to indulge this passion. This group has been encouraging and supportive.
Doris finds painting a wonderful way to express herself, to play with paint, to be whimsical or serious. She uses acrylics because she enjoys the comparatively fast results, but also likes the vibrancy and intensity of the colours as well as the forgiving quality of the medium. She uses a palette knife to intensify the strength of the stroke. Photographs form the starting point for her subject matter as she attempts to capture the emotion of the moment on her canvasses.
