SANDRA MACKENZIE GOGUEN
An oil painter since the age of nine, her work has developed into the classical style of painting. Still life and portraits are her passion. Goguen is also able to carry her fine art into graphite and charcoal, maintaining a quiet, calmness in each piece of work.
Born of French Canadian heritage, she paints by the name of "Goguen" which is her signature on all her earliest works before marriage. Now residing in Oshawa, Ontario, her studio is open to the public. "Dark and light intertwine in the oils to portray a feeling of calmness and sensuality. Objects transcend from absolute to still life on the canvas, all the while maintaining their substance and vitality. Natural colors are the visual core, while effective lighting artistry illuminates these timeless pieces. Inspired by Rembrandt, Goguen excites the imagination to create limitless possibilities beyond the depths of the brush strokes”. Artist Email – portraitsbygoguen@hotmail.com |
