Once you “know” Troy Stewart’s work, you will pick out one of her pieces quickly, even when the subject matter is a slight departure from her usual water and horizon pieces. This is another new and interesting abstract by TUS. A luscious little piece for your collection, or as a wonderful little gift. Hang with THIN AIR III for an interesting grouping!
Size 8″ x 8″ Oil on 1 1/2″ deep canvas.
The Artist: Drawing was the one constant during Troy Stewart’s childhood on the seas. Troy was born in the Caribbean and raised on a sailboat, eventually staying on land long enough to graduate from the Bristol Art College in the UK. Since settling in Canada, she has earned her keep as an award-winning graphic designer for both corporate clients and non-profit organizations, all the while continuing her art practice through painting, photography and life drawing. Most recently Troy (known as TUS on her artworks) has developed a habit with oil paints, and has carried her attention to texture, abstract form and natural beauty into her new work. Cambridge, Ontario is now home for Troy, but the magnificent and ever-present horizons of her childhood inspire her still, and often appear in her work consciously and unconsciously.
