MEDIUM: Watercolor Art | Acrylic Paint | Mixed Media Art
SPECIALTY: ✔ Generalist

Justina is a self-taught artist based in rural Alberta.

Her creative beginnings stem from a fascination with drawing buildings and textiles at an early age.

This fascination morphed into an involvement with theater; designing, building and painting sets and props.

She liked working on a variety of surfaces, learning how to make marks with a wide range of implements.

From set painting she went into painting in acrylic on canvas, encompassing other media into her paintings such as papers, gel mediums and acrylic inks, to achieve an interesting array of textures and detail.

She also paints in watercolor and oil.
