...Autumn Skye...

"My purpose is to create. It is my stillness and rhythm, my teacher and passion.

I start with fragments of ideas and work intuitively, not clinging to a preconceived outcome or a completed concept. Open to adding seemingly random components that speak to me, as the piece evolves, I witness it shape into something that often astonishes even myself.

Texture, colour, and mixed media bring the image into our physical space, creating an interactive and sensory experience. I believe that art can be an intimate rendezvous. My intent is to reveal a symbiotic relationship between artist, muse and viewer.

While holding true to anatomy and light source, I step out of the way and allow the figures and faces to take on their own shape. When the piece is complete, the woman reflected back at me is unfamiliar, but somehow a part of me. Through this process, I am constantly learning of myself. To have others share their own interpretation and connection with my work, is more than I could ever imagine, and the piece takes on a whole new depth, constantly evolving.

I wish to portray spiritual essence in physical and realistic form. The paint shapes the light and shadow of our human beauty, our ancient divinity, and our sublime imperfection..."

...bio...

Autumn Skye Morrison was born in Springhill, Nova Scotia in June of 1983. Her childhood was scattered across Canada as her family gradually made their way west. It was enriching to see the country in such variety and detail. Her father settled in the small town of Field in the Yoho valley of the Rocky Mountains, and Columbia Lake. Her mother and stepfather built their home between Powell River and Lund on the Sunshine coast. Spending her seasons between the majesty of the mountains and the serenity of the ocean and lush forest, Skye developed a deep appreciation for beauty.

As soon as she was old enough to hold a pencil, she would spend countless hours playing with colours and figures. Since her childhood stick men she has been drawn to the human form, and to this day she strives to capture its life and essence.

Skye has traveled throughout North America, Mexico, and South East Asia, spellbound by unfamiliar landscapes and the cultures therein. Inspired, the impressions linger with her when she returns home. There she picks up her paints and brushes and merges emotion and colour.

In July 2005 she joined three partners and opened a music and arts cafe in Powell River, called Local Locos. It has become a community stronghold for creativity and self expression.

She lives and paints in her home North of Powell River, overlooking an sweeping expanse of ocean, island, mountains, and sky.
