Donna Andreychuk
Still Life
 
The title of “Still Life” for Donna Andreychuk’s floral series is one that follows a feeling of stagnation, the sense of life standing still over the past year. As a COVID-19 diagnosis and implications of pandemic limited Andreychuk’s opportunities to paint plein air, she moved her studio space that she had occupied for 5 years from downtown Delaware, ON back to her home. Although a disruptive and challenging time to make art for Andreychuk, she began to paint from memory and took inspiration her immediate surroundings, often from her studio windows. The blooms of spring and summer became the main source of Andreychuk’s imagery, and during the past year she has found herself being able to complete commissions in styles such as portraiture, much different from her usual work. Andreychuk’s gestural and colourful floral paintings mean to spread happiness and joy, even in hardship.

Donna Andreychuk is an artist based in Delaware, Ontario, who draws inspiration from her love of the Canadian landscape. Often working outdoors, Andreychuk first creates small paintings and then creates larger studio works that employ loose gestural brushstrokes and vibrant colours to capture fragments of her subject on site, the end result and energetic and cohesive image with elements of abstract expressionism. Andreychuk is currently represented by Canvas Gallery in Toronto, ON, and her work has been featured worldwide in solo and group shows, television programs, and in private and corporate collections.

So nice to see Donna’s work transition thru the pandemic. Artists often bypass the view from their window but wonderful paintings are resulting. Thanks for the update.

I miss our coffee breaks but we all need to be careful. I also miss seeing Al and Lucy each morning.

Stay safe and stay well. Kaaren
