First Saturday Open Studios

Victoria Klassen is an abstract landscape painter. She attended Emily Carr College of Art & Design and the Langara Fine Arts program. 

When I catch a glimpse of a branch, mountainside, or a leaf pattern, those moments are remembered when I paint. Sometimes they are revealed as an indistinct shape or combination of light and colour mixed together. It is these brief moments that I try to capture in my work. I build up layers of colour, form and line to recreate fragments of leaves, petals and shapes that express a reimagined landscape..
