Artists, Singers And Dancers in The 1000 Islands

Artist Of The 1000 Islands

Painter Mary-Louise Olajos

Facescapes is my main body of work consisting of large portraits painted in oil on canvas. I have been working on this series for over fifteen years The subjects are common folk that we see every-day, crossing guards, fishermen, market vendors, street people. Each one that I pass has so much to say. Intrigued, I capture their unique character with texture and color resulting in a powerful image on a large scale with an expressionist technique. On some of the large canvasses I zoom in on sections of the face creating an intense landscape with layers of translucent lines focusing attention on the beauty that time etches on the human face. I would like to share these images of the people I meet. Each portrait has a story of its own with un-spoken words. Most viewers relate these images to themselves as familiar yet not so familiar faces. Confronted with this �geography� they are drawn into my experience of the subjects I paint. www.facescapes.com

She took piano and voice lessons as a child and more currently has studied keyboard, guitar, and more advanced voice. Five years ago, her first performance as a soloist for a friends wedding set her singing career in motion. She has wrote songs, made contact with a recording producer, and prepared herself mentally for the task at hand. During this whole process, Katrina also worked full time hours as a Dental Hygienist.
