Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
Artist Statement
For twenty years, I worked in a non-creative industry. I started painting later in life, having focused on raising a family like many women do. My journey into painting began in 2010 after being inspired by an artwork in a magazine that featured beautiful shades of green. This encounter reignited my creative passions.
As a self-taught artist, I primarily use acrylic paints and inks, blending intuition with technique to achieve my desired results. My artworks are multi-layered and textural, often incorporating a landscape theme—from aerial views to micro/macro studies.
Much of my color inspiration comes from my love of interior design, textiles, and my garden. My palette ranges from jewel tones to monochromatic schemes and everything in between.
In 2016, I transitioned to painting full-time and now relish creating large-scale pieces on unstretched canvas. The possibilities are endless with only my imagination as the limit.
I am thoroughly enjoying my artistic journey and eagerly anticipate new opportunities that lie ahead.
