ARTIST PROFILE

Adriane is an artist living in Calgary, Alberta.  She grew up on a wheat farm and is always influenced by the open spaces, rhythms of nature, and solitude she began life with.   She completed a Bachelor of Interior Design at the University of Manitoba and worked as an Interior Designer for 8 years.  Her background in interior design informs her choices in all artwork she makes.  Adriane has also spent time living in Sydney, Australia, and attended the sculpture program at the University of Sydney.  She completed her Bachelor of Fine Art at the Alberta University of the Arts, majoring in Fibre.  Exploring three-dimensions, texture and transparency is an exciting part of her practice.

​

Adriane works with cloth, paper, clay, paints and thread to create works that capture observations and feelings about the world around her and the experiences in her life.  Her love of complex colour combinations and a family legacy of fibre art gives her background knowledge that provides many options and ideas so that she brings something new to every piece she makes.
