Experience Michele Kambolis works first hand and see how growing up surrounded by the natural beauty of the Okanagan and more northern areas of British Columbia has deeply influenced the artist’s reflections on canvas.  Her work demonstrates a vivid connection to the vast natural beauty of Western Canada and the often visceral effect of experiencing this living landscape first hand.

Resulting from the artist’s own meditative process, each piece offers an abstract, yet visually representative form of the powerful synchronicity between tangible qualities in nature and the human psyche. Drawing from experience as a practicing clinical therapist, Kambolis offers an insightful perspective on personal journeys toward homeostasis and the psyches need to access nature for balance and energy. The exquisite chemistry of each piece is reminiscent of the fluidity of our psyche as we tender one emotion to the next throughout the healing journey. And in tribute to the Greek heritage Kambolis married into, each piece of art is named with both Greek and English titles.

The cohesive depth evolving from the layering of texture and color is achieved through a variety of media including modeling agents, sand, gold or silver dust, and porcelain paint. Many pieces extend beyond the edge of the canvas and frame themselves as a result.
