One of our artists from the Kaleidoscope exhibit is Sarah Rutledge from Ontario, Canada. She has grown up always inspiring to be an artist. Once she started experimenting with abstract art, she had realized that she found her true passion. The different layers of colours in her pieces is intended to give the viewer the experience of looking through the painting. Sarah has participated in many exhibits throughout her career as an artist, with both solo and group exhibits, mostly in Guelph, Ontario. 

Sarah Rutledge is a master of acrylic painting and depth with her different techniques! Her inspiration comes from the endless possibilities of ways that creativity and expression can be shown. Sarah uses her art as a way of communicating and creates opportunities for individuals to connect with art and themselves on a deeper level.  

We have a video here, showing Sarah painting one of her pieces for the Kaleidoscope exhibit!

What is/are your favourite techniques when creating new work?

My favourite method of painting is to build up thin layers of acrylic paint to create depth and visual interest.

What brought you to painting as a medium rather than another form of artistic expression?

I paint because of how physical it is. I love using my hands and different tools to move the paint around the canvas.

In your opinion, what makes your work unique?

My work is unique because of the variety of techniques that I use to create texture and depth in my paintings.
