About the Artist:

Kernan employs a proficiency in watercolour, oil and acrylics to produce multi layered, greatly texturized paintings that reflect the electric excitement of a downtown night and the intense beauty of Alberta’s mountainous landscape. The artist skillfully creates dimensions of light and dense paint alongside an unexpected use of pattern and surface to generate the illusion of depth and foreground. The combination and contrast of liquid and more grounded elements of Kernan’s pieces elevate the work from pictorial tableaus of everyday scenes to convincing visions of a glimpse inside the artist’s inventive ode to her much-admired surroundings. Utilizing a vibrant colour palette and thick, impasto brush strokes, Kernan whimsically reveals a crossover of stories documenting the environment and imagination at play. Viewers are drawn into a conversation with paint; written into a fluid chronicle of the artist’s experience of the world and artistic conceptions.
