About Artist Bobbie Seright Palanuik   

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Bobbie now lives in West Central Alberta where she has found inspiration in the ever-changing rural landscapes of the Blindman Valley and surrounding areas.

Using nature as her subject, Bobbie allows the spirit of the moment to guide her in the development of her painting which can precise in detail or abstract and free. When she is working on a piece, there is a rhythm and flow that comes to her, with different energies of light and colour merging together to create a symphony. Each colour, each pastel mark, each brush stroke flows from Bobbie’s heart into the painting until the music is complete and all is in harmony.

“Whether it is a water’s deep blue reflections mirroring the golden stillness of an autumn afternoon or the drama and grand intensity of a violet and orange sunset, I am driven to capture and express the love that I felt for the essence of that moment. The earth has many beautiful faces and moods to show me and as long as I breathe I will be inspired to portray them and share her amazing grace with others.”

Bobbie’s work resides in private and public collection throughout Alberta, including the Alberta Foundation For the Arts.
