Inhaltsangabe

Roxsane was born and raised in the greater Vancouver area. She became an international educator teaching high school and marketing for the district in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Mexico. Wherever she travels she soaks up local colour, customs, and cultural influences. These cross-cultural experiences blend with her lively imagination, her creativity, and her love of the outdoors to provide an endless variety of subjects for her artwork. Now she lives in Burnaby. Roxsane studied Applied Art at Capilano College [now Capilano University] placing on the Dean's List. She has experimented in many media-acrylics, watercolour, and oils. She has studied and produced weaving, fabric design, and soft sculpture before learning the techniques of Chigiri-e in Japan. One afternoon in 1984 she took a class in Chigiri-e'-a Japanese torn paper technique. As an artist, the discovery of Chigiri-e' opened her creative channels. She enjoys the variety of papers, the feel of paper, it can be sturdy or fragile, bright or hazy, fibrous or sheer-gauzy. She loves it all. Recently she has experimented with the exuberance of acrylics using playful, audacious colour. At times she combines acrylics and paper to create a mixed media piece. This incorporates the textures of paper with the colour of acrylics. Roxsane interprets nature. She produces impressions of light sifting through the forest, sunlight dappling water or snowfields, or patterns of fog or dew. She experiments and enjoys the challenges involved. She always wants to capture the many fleeting joys of life. When she comes through a sun-dappled trail she wants to share the pleasure she gets. Paper allows her to do this. .She chooses to bring the positive side of life to everyone's attention usually using nature as the vehicle. She currently exhibits in Inlet Wellness Gallery on Clarke Street in Port Moody; in Jeunesse Gallery at 2638 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver; and frequently in the FCA Gallery on Granville Island. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections in New Westminster, Coquitlam, Creston, Finland, USA, Japan, and China. As past president of the Burnaby Artists Guild, she has helped with the creation and completion of mosaic murals for the Tommy Douglas Library, BC Children's Hospital, and in 2015 two murals for Burnaby General Hospital. In 2014 Roxsane led an Art Delegation to Guiyang, Guizhou, China, and coordinated the reception of Guiyang artists in Burnaby in 2015.
