Yangyang Pan is a full time artist living and working in Markham, Canada.
"Her current work focuses on the contrasts found in Nature. Beauty and cruelty, its hostility and hospitality are at the foundation of her inquiry. In this present body of abstract paintings she develops a visual language that expresses her inspiration taken from natural optical cues and infuses it with spirit and spontaneity sourced from emotions within."
 
 
I have come to love and admire the works of Sally Trace and Destiny Womack.  I even went as far as emailing them separately to see if I could learn their technique.  Their response to that email was a good lesson in itself.  Artists have their own techniques, ways of mixing mediums, unique processes, etc., that it would have been impossible for them to explain how to recreate their "look".  That wouldn't be fair to them either unless they were teaching a class.  So, I was left on my own.  I still have no idea how they create their paintings but I do know I have found my own way, and I might add it was by a happy accident.

_Adriane comes from more of a desk-focused job and turned to painting as her creative outlet.  "I have always been really passionate about art and design, so I had to find some way to squeeze it in to my life".  Some day Adriane hopes to spend all of her time in a beautiful studio, drinking tea and painting huge canvases with no desk in sight. A girl can dream. (Sounds very familiar)

Adriane's paintings are mostly abstract works using acrylics and oils with a modern, graphic feel.
