About the Artist:
Ariane` Kamps is a painter and illustrator who works in traditional mediums to create figurative works. Her work reflects a deep interest in memory, dream worlds and the value of the individual's story. Her work ranges from portraiture to surreal dreamlike landscapes that she creates out of her home studio in Penticton, British Columbia.
Ariane` started creating work amidst motherhood, needing to have a creative outlet; she painted shoes, purses and miniature paintings. Not long after, she was painting in oils, watercolors, inks and pixels for children’s books and private commissions. Portraits have always stood out for her as she continued to paint people’s stories and memories in re-imagined ways.
Her paintings can be found in homes & private collections from North America to Australia. When she isn’t painting she can be found teaching her 5 bright children, hiking the hills around Okanagan lake while trying to spot the elusive Ogopogo.
