Sisterhood : First Born

Acrylic on Gallery Canvas. 24” x 36”

Panel 1/3 left side of Triptych, 2025.

@$1300 each panel, $3400 when purchased as a triptych.

i like to have multiple panels on the go on the paint wall. Often that means a com position willl bloom across all three surfaces. Each panel is then treated independently so that it is compositionally sound as an individual while also relating to its adjacent partner or partners and resolving as a complete triptych.

This sisterhood grouping evolved out of the mark making process. There was no plan when i began other than to be present with materials in a creative act. For me that is with acrylic paint in my tiny sunlit studio. The result is a record of moments, of one set of marks leading to another as each days work contributed to the final compositions.

The Middle panel of the Sisterhood Trio

Acrylic on gallery Canvas

24” x 36” each panel

@$1300 per panel $3400 when purchased as a triptych

The creation of any composition is a personal journey that moves through periods of restorative colour play, records moments in marks and blooms in consecutive layersinto an impression of an imaginary landscape. My work is inspired by the idea of place but does not attempt to record any actual landscape.

Sisterhood : The Bebe

Sisterhood : The Bebe

Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 24” x 36”, 2025

$1300 per panel $3400 when purchased as a triptych

The Bebe is the right hand panel of The Sisterhood Trio. These girls are fresh from the paint wall. (in the spring of 2025)

In the middle of Canada where I paint from a tiny studio within view of the Red River, the landscape is often slow to get it’s spring mojo going.

The Prairies are robust bloomers at the peak of the summer season and thats where the marks led me as this composition evolved. There is a reason why the rich black soil forms the foundation of Canada’s grain production. In the early part of my favourite season winter can drag on ( and on) and my paint wall is often the salve I need to combat the residue of a winter that is reluctant to leave us.

The Bebe, is so named because she is the right side panel of the trio. Please note she is neither last to the party or the favourite. I don’t want these sisters arguing over which of them is most important, more valued or desired.

Should you decide only one of the girls is joining your household we won’t tell her siblings.

Lake Winnipeg is an expansive inland ocean edged by a plethora of micro and macro ecosystems. Each one contributes in its own way to the health and diversity of the lakeside landscape that inspires my summer experience.

FIELDING DREAMS: BLOOM

FIELDING DREAMS: BLOOM

24” x 36”

Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 2025

The soft yet intense colour palette reads summertime on the Canadian Prairies. Colour shapes and painterly marks combine to infer a fictional perennial garden bed or wild untended garden.

“Bloom” is the right hand panel of this triptych

Fielding Dreams: Growth/ Nurture/ Bloom

Fielding Dreams: Growth/ Nurture/ Bloom

This triptych is made up of three gallery depth canvas panels @ 24” x 36” each panel.

Painted in acrylic by Amanda Onchulenko this trio is made up of a series of marks, layered intuitively to create a colourful fictional garden. Each panel works as a singleton as well as adjacent pairs.

Composition is a game I love to play and a multipanelled painting offers an opportunity to devise multiple compositions within the trio. The colour scheme is a little softer than many of my paintings. perfect for those with a desire for a low maintenance garden that will bloom indoors year round with memories of late summer blossoms intact.

Each Panel @$1300

When purchased as a triptych @$3300

All panels unframed.

INTO THE MIST

INTO THE MIST

20” x 20”

Acrylic on Gallery Canvas, 2024

$700

This loose painterly sketch infers the Prairie in full bloom with minimal marks. A contrasting colour palette of Canola yellow and Flax blue is balanced by the warmth of quinocridone red, a hint of mint and some deep olive and bottle greens.

Created at the end of a painting period this little composition flows with a less verses more philosophy.

“Into the Mist” is currently welcoming visitors to our summer cottage after its partner, “The Majorca Cardigan” which earned its name from a daughter’s travel chenanigans while I was painting at the studio, went to her forever home with a lake neighbour.

Fairmont Suite 2: Luminosity

Fairmont Suite 2: Luminosity

Acrylic on Panel, 48” x 48”, 2023.

Framed 50” x 50”, $3675 ($3400 unframed)

Luminosity celebrates the vibrant Prairie skies that dominate the landscape in Canada’s keystone province, Manitoba, where I live. I’m particularly inspired by fall skies where the full bloom of the Prairie is harvested and the dust in the air at twilight often turns the fading sky scarlet.

She has taken up temporary residence at my husband’s office where she enjoys Zoom calls and eavesdropping on legal conversations. She is a bright light that luckily cannot talk.

Viewings available by appointment.

The pinks in this luminous girl were made from some of the last of my now discontinued favourite Golden colour.

Fairmont Suite 1, Poppies: Game

Fairmont Suite 1, Poppies: Game

Acrylic on Panel,

48” x 48”, 2023., Unframed

$3400

Poppies are a constant in my studio practice. I painted a floral version of 3x 48” x 48” panels specifically for the Fairmont Winnipeg and Pulse Gallery Winnipeg’s inaugural Artist in residence initiative.

Poppies: Game was the third of 3 floral themed panels. Her partners were more cousins than sisters that formed a natural diptych. They soon made off to their forever home before even being invited to the Fairmont hotel.

Poppies Game has definitely “Got game”. She can be viewed in downtown Winnipeg by appointment.

Square Prairie Series: Field Study

Square Prairie Series: Field Study

Part of a body of small works designed to compliment the Fairmont Suite Group of paintings.

This little gem is a personal favourite. Compact with a gentle colour pallete she invokes a summers day in soft focus while packing a solid compositional punch.

Passage

Passage was created in response to a request for a 24” x 24” piece to partner in a group show. These blooms evolved on the paintwall in the depths of a Canadian winter set on the prairies. This garden can bllom year round no matter the weather.

Sweet Treat : Glade

Acrylic on Panel 11” x 14”, 2025 @ $350

As a Triptych Height 14” x Width 33” @ $875

Sweet Treat : Spritz is about contrasts and compliment, about being present with materials making creative choices.

Any creative moment spent in a solo persuit or within a group setting is always a salve. The result is a composition that might be small but packs a visual punch that far outweighs her weight class.

Find her at Pulse Gallery in The Forks Complex, Winnipeg.

"Echo", Left side panel from the "Energetic Diptych

Acrylic on panel, 18” x 24”, 2024.

This active semi abstract landscape was one of the first paintings I reintroduced black to after many years of creatind darks by adding compliments together.

The remnants of Golden’s Quinocridone red light, my favouite colour for under layers was used in this piece and her companion, “Sway”. There was a distinct rhythm to their creation. Constant motion in reaction to layers as they built up on the surfaces rocked between overpainting and finding balance.

Painting is always a unchoreographed dance but I was happy to see this pair arrive on my card.

"Sway", Right side of "Energetic Diptych"

Acrylic on panel, 18” x 24” each panel @ $750

as a Triptych, Height 24” x Width 36” @ $1300

The Prairies where I live are a constant source of inspiration. I am always surprised by the resilience of the perennial inhabitants that strive and thrive each growing season despite the hardships a Canadian winter can inflict.

The wind is a constant on the prairies too that tends to choreograph rhythmic dances admid crowds of blooms. While I never aim to describe literal landscapes with my work I am inspired to translate the energy of the environment, to describe shapes and create characters from marks on a surface that lead my compositions through a creative game of decision making to their resolutions.

Sweet Suite Series: Inland Ocean

Sweet Suite Series: Inland Ocean

Acrylic on Panel

$325

I have always been drawn to colour and colour relationships. In much of my work I try to tease out a little reaction between contrasts. In this little piece i was attracted to the water and how the addition of a yellow to the the light blue violet of the water flattened out the surface to infer a breathless late summer afternoon.

Choir

Choir

Acrylic on canvas

18” x 36”, 2024 @ $1050

Some describe colour as singing and I agree. When gathered in a group the elements can’t help but to form a choir, even without a conductor.

Available at the studio for in person visits and home trials.

When is a painting finished and how do you give a painting a name?

These are two of the most frequently asked questions. The answer varies and may even change over time. I’ve been known to label and sign a painting I consider to be complete and several months or even years later feel the need to re address her.

No hard and fast rules. The Blue Guy is available for in person viewing by appointment.
