Coop Gallery welcomes September guest artist Silvana Virdiramo Vettese
Silvana Virdiramo Vettese
came to an art career fol-
lowing a busy life raising her
four children. She enrolled
in art at Georgian College,
where she studied for three
years, commuting daily
from her home in
Walkerton.
After a recent visit to meet
with Virdiramo Vettese at
her studio, it is easy to see
that she is making up for
lost time; she paints daily,
producing large canvases
from her vivid imagination,
letting her ideas direct the
brush.
Although Virdiramo Vet-
tese began her art career
painting landscapes in
oils, she has found her
medium with acrylic
paints in bright vivacious
colours. Her current inter-
ests have led her to pair
florals and females. She
sees an analogy between
the blossoming of the flow-
ers, and the blossoming,
nurturing, loving nature of
females.
In Virdiramo Vettese's
painting, Poppies, she envi-
sioned a woman with dark
hair, wearing vibrant reds
and oranges, flowing with
movement, to match what
she saw as the personality
of the flowers. She finds her
imagination working over-
time as she selects the flow-
ers, and dreams of what
image will match the floral
"personality" she
envisions.
Why not visit the Goderich
Coop Gallery in September
to see if you find the same
match of personality
between the flower and the
female depicted?
Visit the gallery at 54
