Artist Statement
I'm Callie Gray, an award winning international artist, and I create vibrantly colourful canvases.
I am fascinated in art as a language that bridges the physical and spiritual worlds. Through mindfulness, as I paint, I am able to connect to a deeper source within me, which is both healing and transcendent. It allows me to use spontaneous mark making and paint intuitively. Through this process, I find a greater understanding of myself and experience a unique connection to the world around me. And if it connects with someone and gives them joy then I have done my job.
