They are a physical response to the materials at hand and the surface that receives those marks. I stand to paint and this size 20” x 40” x 3 canvases is a comfortable and generous space to work on from that perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/a849f42c-f973-49f2-b623-7bd4b3add342/tempImageHHYM9Q.jpg Blog - "Growth...and a spring fling." - Make it stand out This trio of 20” x 40” panels are developing. I have included this image as an illustration of a second or third pass across the surface of this evolving triptych. I am still concentrating on covering the entire substrate with gesso, only in this group, I am inviting those earliest marks into the creative conversation. Green seems to be a colour I am drawn to lately. That might be because spring is in the air? Or it just might be part of my evolution as a painter? Friends have commented that previous bodies of work have a noticeable focus on a particular colour. Could the current green trend be related to the heart chakra? Who knows? I guess hindsight will offer a clearer perspective down the road. Stay tuned to see how this trio evolves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/eb8ee88c-fd37-42dd-abfb-18956dc3bcc0/tempImageDDqLLb.jpg Blog - "Growth...and a spring fling." - Make it stand out Here is another swath of green as it appears on a recent canvas. I employ a lot of contrasts in my work. This hint of pink, which I love in the mix of this particular painting helps to give the composition energy. In much of my work the reactivity of contrasting colours often becomes a compositional devise that helps me to direct the viewer within the visual story of the composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1f02ffa2-9bdd-4998-bce5-cc17b139adbd/tempImageC2Xxgv.jpg Blog - "Growth...and a spring fling." - Make it stand out “GROWTH:WISDOM” is the Left side of the diptych shown at the top of this blog. This duo are the last pair painted ( and completed) for the “SPRING FLING” exhibit Pulse Gallery in Winnipeg are hosting. The show runs from April 1-30, 2023. After many years of wearing all the hats I am accepting the invitation to be supported with gallery representation.

I am attracted to contrasts and this quinacridone red smeared in a blend with clear gesso makes for a lovely “popper”. It illustrates one of my effects, that of remnants from an under layer peaking throughout to the surface. Those “poppers” are often my favourite features within any painting. They become compositional details that help to lead the eye of the viewer into and through a composition. https://www.mandart.ca/blog/wisdom-at-the-crossroads-7bzg8-8s58a-3mllf-44yzs-fxnw7-kedxe-9c867-nxd37-65trb-cn8jz-ymz3n-y2z5s-ykn54-ntmfs-hmrjr-68rhb monthly 0.5 2025-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/e2613f0e-5681-4331-991b-a62f81748072/tempImagemqCybe.jpg Blog - "Wise words:Presence." - Make it stand out “Tofino: Reflection”, (detail) Acrylic on Canvas, 22” x 30”, 2023.

It’s a bit too chilly to be doing a meditation outdoors, even a walking meditation for any length of time in the winter, so presence is found on the paint wall or in my mediation chair. If you have an opportunity to be outside in nature as part of your meditative practice I would encourage you to do it.

The brushstroke tempered the colour in the sky just like the falling snow did in the reflective story I share in the recording on this episode. “Pink at Ponemah” was featured in episode #9 in case you would like to go back and hear her story.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/3c9c05eb-5922-4253-9a84-72967bb761f4/tempImageM7O0SX.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out This detail is from “Prairie Girl” the very first painting I discussed on the podcast in episode #1. White in this painting was being used to erase what I thought needed a new beginning. That act was a reminder that small changes can leave a lasting impact. In this case, the white tempered the elements that were bothering me. I am pleased to tell you I also learned to leave well enough alone. lol https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/d7d46363-7c7e-44f0-8a85-9c5c8353b4d7/Mojito.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out “Mojito” was one of 4 paintings on paper, 22 1/2” x 30”, that featured snow. White wasn’t so much a feature but more of a suggestion inferred by shape. Mojito and others in that colourful winter series can be found on the podcast in episode #12, “Cocktail Hour” if you want to hear a little more about them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/4e45991b-f327-44a4-9815-74cce267cfc7/tempImageQhi6oq.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out White gesso is where all of my paintings begin. The gesso is the first layer that forms a barrier between the porous substrate which can be paper, canvas or birch panel. In this case it was a small wood panel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/27c7c570-f2a9-4b0a-a786-93dd612f9fcc/tempImageIb8ooS.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out The view from my temporary winter desk at the cottage during a daytime snowstorm tempered the landscape white. Drifting sheets of falling snow reduced visibility, dissolved the horizon line and reduced the depth of field my vision could process. This pic was taken after the snow had stopped and the skies had begun to clear. earlier in the storm I could barely see the trees in the forground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/e5354ef2-d0d5-48d7-b23a-74a57b695487/lake+view+twilight+blue+skies.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out The same lake view at twilight on a clear day with the rich blue sky of winter on the prairies. Don’t be fooled. A bright blue sky in the depths of winter often means the temperatures have dipped. Without cloud cover to insulate the earth at ground level it gets colder. Who could imagine the weather warming up to snow? The horizon and the expanse of frozen Lake Winnipeg are visible here unlike the white out of a storm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/072bb6f2-8db5-4c2b-98f6-f7bad1f1c9d6/an+everywhere+of+silver.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out One of the few examples of winter white in one of my paintings. This little gem is “An Everywhere of Silver”, 16” x 16”, acrylic on panel. Listen to her story on the podcast in Episode #22. Available on all platforms or scroll down the list of blog posts to find it right here on my website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/3fa4209c-c1d2-4b02-b0f6-de863141adde/tempImageNUJNk3.jpg Blog - "Inviting White: Cottage Reflection" - Make it stand out This detail comes from a commissioned painting that resides in a Winnipeg Law Firm. It is an example of two things: my particular use of white in a prairie sky and also the show through of a previous iteration on the surface. Not every work takes a straight path from A to B sometimes they take a few trips through A to B, C or even D before they find their feet. I can’t recall what intention this piece began with but I do love the way marks made for another purpose find their way to the surface to become the “poppers” that lead the viewer through the composition on the surface. Life. The journey. https://www.mandart.ca/blog/wisdom-at-the-crossroads-7bzg8-8s58a-3mllf-44yzs-fxnw7-kedxe-9c867-nxd37-65trb-cn8jz-ymz3n-y2z5s-ykn54-ntmfs-hmrjr monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/259f9d9d-e341-4867-a057-b99ab1cafb54/tempImageUi2ZQO.jpg Blog - "Arty Facts"...Marks at the AGO - Make it stand out Beginnings on the paint wall are fast and fluid and really get my creative juices flowing. This large pair, Wisdom/ Inner Resources, are 3’ x 4’ each so together make quite a statement.

I can’t help but to wonder about the anonymous maker whose marks have been salvaged from another age. An artifact like this one gets me curious.

Creativity and painting in particular are my favourite route to presence. The process of painting quiets me as it draws me in to the action of problem solving in colour.

His expert marksmanship with colour and line is undeniable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/f49f0ee7-432a-4870-ad85-77c53e1631d3/tempImage4iVviq.jpg Blog - "Arty Facts"...Marks at the AGO - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/f4393494-609d-4448-8926-21520f4df406/tempImageMlJHkm.jpg Blog - "Arty Facts"...Marks at the AGO - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mandart.ca/blog/wisdom-at-the-crossroads-7bzg8-8s58a-3mllf-44yzs-fxnw7-kedxe-9c867-nxd37-65trb-cn8jz-ymz3n-y2z5s-ykn54 monthly 0.5 2025-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/0e4ea750-29dc-4c5f-a7ee-b7e82bdce6b6/Pink+Pair+early+marks+detail.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out We talk about paintings blooming and then crashing and burning on the paintball in this episode. It’s never the plan but unfortunately it does happen, possibly more than you might imagine. The image above is a detail of the right hand side of the “Pink Pair”, whose early marks were fluid and energetic yet soft and subtle. I had put the canvases aside and come back to them as I reacquainted with my space after an absence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/58274bb3-a9b0-4076-b193-da062da951fa/tempImage5UKH6H.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out The pink pair moved through several stages. This is one of the midpoints when i started to lose it by over doing it. In life as in art less can definitely be more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/74b1f996-04eb-43b7-88b3-ee10264e93f0/Pink+Pair+20%2522+x+40%2522+Left+side+acrylic+on+canvas+2023.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out The Pink Pair Left Side 20” x 40” acrylic on canvas 2023. This is where this part of the composition left off . There might be minor tweaks yet to come but I will do my best to leave well enough alone having lost and regained this pair once already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1b395d51-62d8-4a80-9621-93368e227fef/Pink+Pair+20%2522+x+40%2522+Right+Side+acrylic+on+canvas+2023.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out The Pink Pair, Right Side 20” x 40” acrylic on canvas, 2023. Changing perspective by viewing a composition in a different scale is a strategy I use often. At the end of the day at the studio I try to remember to take a snapshot of where I am leaving things off. It makes for an effective way to reevaluate the composition on my phone before my next studio visit. I spy a spot for a little yellow in this one but that might be the last addition before a signature is added and I move onto to new challenges.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/408ac6a8-65e0-4ac3-95b5-215fdcc1cf77/Firepit+cedar+magic.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out The mesmerizing action of an outdoor fire pit is shown above. This is where our meditative moment will take us in today’s self care practice. In fact these are the cedar fronds curling amongst the embers of the fall fire I speak of in the recording. I can almost inhale the scented magic of Cedar as I recall this seasonal memory from lake country. Its a little too chilly where I live right now for an outdoor firepit. I’d have to dig out both the woodpile and wade through 3 feet of snow to uncover the firepit in the front yard at the cottage . The Hoar frost pic opposite was taken a few snowfalls ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/555aacd4-6e06-4927-a8c7-e3e55c8c6a5b/tempImageHvkOQy.jpg Blog - "Burning with Passion" - Make it stand out This pic of the cottage during a Hoar Frost was taken a few snow falls ago.

In my painting practice I like to play with colour and colour relationships by turning traditional colour practices on their head. A warm sky like this one tends to flatten the surface because warm colours generally come forward visually while cooler colours recede. By inverting that principle the depth of field is reduced https://www.mandart.ca/blog/wisdom-at-the-crossroads-7bzg8-8s58a-3mllf-44yzs-fxnw7-kedxe-9c867-nxd37-65trb-cn8jz-ymz3n-y2z5s-ykn54-ntmfs monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/f40a2c87-4195-4b37-a99b-3e90a71b9c17/AmandaOnchulenko-+Painting+selfie+big+pink+2023.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out This episode is all about gratitude. One of the things I am most grateful for is the ability to have maintained a studio art practice since 2001. I may be dating myself but I am grateful for every second I get to work at my passion. “Big Pink” evolving on the paint wall at the moment is inviting new directions to manifest on the surface without judgement. She is 48” x 48”, acrylic on panel, 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/907a9c87-fd3c-4ce5-be70-eecdcd9c17af/Pina+colada.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out I was digging in the archive and came across this acrylic and chalk pastel on paper, 22 1/2” x 30” from the early 2000’s. “Pina Colada” was one of a series of 4 full sheets of heavy duty water colour paper that I pinned to the paint wall. I approached the same subject matter in 4 different ways in a very fun game of problem solving in colour. One of these 4 version greets visitors at my front door. “Strawberry Margarita” was the subject of a podcast in episode #12. A local tree backlit in St Vital Park was the inspiration for a study that began with the premise of exploring the shape of snow. A studio neighbour at the time remarked my quads were more like cocktails than winter trees. And so this new series became “The Cocktail Hour”. I am grateful for the ability to play at my work and for all the contributions large and small made by friends and colleagues through their words and actions over the years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/4d824c48-ba72-4f58-b035-137c9cd19082/AmandaOnchulenko-podcast+cover+jpg.JPG Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out Above is the cover image for my Podcast which turns 1 this week.

I have been a member for several years. I am grateful for all the visitors who have become friends and return year after year like the perennials in my garden; rain, hail or sunshine. This pair of dear friend made a purchase and walked away in Jazzy style. I am grateful for the support my studio practice has received since 2001. It is your support that keeps a girl like me in business and able to continue doing what I love to do…and for that I am exceedingly grateful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1e63bc0a-2dee-4e47-9209-29ba52c143d5/tempImageYacvrd.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out I am grateful for my connection to place, especially this place, at the waters edge in Ponemah, which is part of Manitoba’s smallest municipality. Our seasonal piers foster community and connection and that’s a big deal to the ex pat within me. I am grateful to have found connection and community so far from my original landscape. in Manitoba’s Interlake just an hours drive north of the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/7686de92-f960-4676-a749-13c1fce1a6b3/Pier+quilt+gem+grandma%3Awayne.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out Quilt Gem, 6” x 6”, collaged fabrics and dye sublimated image. The last pier in Ponemah has become the backdrop to our summers. I can see it from my cottage window as I prepare dinner or pause for a drink on the deck with neighbours. In high water years i could see our girls jumping off the end into the waves and on some occasions watch the waves breaking over the pier’s deck boards.I am grateful to view all the seasons with this backdrop in view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/d74fab9b-8a9b-4dcd-9cac-299a7d0ff155/tempImage4wvHQa.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out Creativity and painting in particular are my favoured avenue to presence. The process of painting quiets me as it draws me in to the action of problem solving in colour. Engaged, painting, time can literally fly by. This image is of developing work in the wings at the studio. I have been changing things up and trying new things lately, like black gesso in the foundation despite having used compliments to create contrast in the last, oh let’s say, twenty years or so. I’m grateful to never say never and to be able to freely make, and change up, my own creative choices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/ebda6e24-55ac-4ce8-a70d-51b4e005f6b6/tempImage1NMmEV.jpg Blog - "A new year begins with Gratitude" - Make it stand out I am also grateful to have the use of this space. I call it my Sunday office. It is a corner of the board room at Leven Tadman Golub Law Firm. I am happy to accompany my hubby there for his regular weekend calls and very grateful to take in the views of downtown while I work. It is a big upgrade from my lovely studio and reserved for writing and planning. The 40” x 60” canvas shown, which for the life I can’t recall the name of, was commissioned for this space. I am grateful to all who have purchased or commissioned work over the years. Your choice to live with original local art allows me to continue doing what I love and I am very grateful for that. https://www.mandart.ca/blog/wisdom-at-the-crossroads-7bzg8-8s58a-3mllf-44yzs-fxnw7-kedxe-9c867-nxd37-65trb-cn8jz-ymz3n-y2z5s monthly 0.5 2025-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/808fa3c2-32cb-4379-ae0d-cf817521f7dc/Dark+Blue+detail+%2522Blue+Gums%2522+2.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out This episode is all about refreshing our system with the intentional breath and colourful imaginings. I thought I’d like to illustrate this blogpost with some details from recent paintings. This one is from a painting called “Blue Gums”. The story of Blue gums can be found in episode #24 (season 2 Episode 4). This lovely deep blue correlates to the third eye chakra and our inner sight and is where my thoughts on colour often begin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/a145b113-3271-4d5f-8f09-c2ddcc892390/tempImagePCB3zz.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out Newly emerging on the paintwall is this 24” x 36” acrylic on panel. I wanted to introduce vertical elements to a horizontal motif. I have been working on it in the depths of winter. Colour in my studio and as part off my creative process provides an antidote to winter’s white where I live. If we relate the dominant colours of the painting to the chakra column it appears, if my friend is correct in her theory, that my continuing healing journey is reenergizing all the chakras with related colour. Vision, Insight, Hindsight and looking at alternate perspectives…are a part of my current creative process and might relate to the dominance of blue in this big sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/f405c299-2896-4a8d-95a7-3768c0fee8fd/tempImageFFYhJL.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out This little 16’ x 20” acrylic on canvas has lived for many years above the fireplace at the cottage. I’ve included her now as an illustration of a piece from the archive that resonates with me and also relates to my friend’s observation. The gestural brushstrokes, the movement of marks across the surface, the pale pastel blue sky and the green summer landscape put me in mind of the heart chakra, green, the throat chakra, light blue, being heard, telling my story, and the darker blues of the third eye chakra; insight, hindsight and vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/a5a9fdf8-9f81-464b-84a0-c5f430a4ee4b/tempImagePHrmd8.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out I’ve kept the pic of my meditation chair in this week’s notes in the hope that it will inspire me to settle into my meditative practice more often. Defining a space as our own is important and it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. This chair lived in my studio for many years when I had lots of space and before my daughter took the opportunity to adopt it when I moved into a smaller studio. Having a place to create a personal sanctuary is a luxury even if a chair like this one was salvaged from the loading dock where it had been “released”. Admittedly it did not look this good or clean when I rescued it. This cosy spot has encouraged my journey to presence. Literal journeys like the one I share in the recording in this episode also help us to restore and rebalance within the seasons of our lives. What is your preferred quiet sanctuary? Some friends I am told are taking this practice on walks with headphones. What works works. I am always open to getting outside and trying new ways to connect to my own spirit and the universal spirit that supports us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/fad21530-850d-4d43-9d3d-926dfe8b27d2/tempImage5WDo1C.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out This is the actual Hummingbird I encountered on my morning walk to the pool in Phoenix that lovely morning. The retelling of that story became the mindful meditation you will hear on the recording. It was a magical encounter. Opposite is the twisted tree set in the lawn I padded across on the way to the pool. This is the actual setting for our colour inspired meditation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/fa3ce227-76bf-4e9d-83f5-845bbe0d7433/tempImageouZeOa.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out In Sedona I learned a twisted tree is often a signifier that an energy vortex is in the vicinity. At the base of this tree I sat and understood some of that magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/7ddcb80d-208c-45fc-9fba-baff8c4bb003/Painting+at+the+studio+feb+2023.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #10 "A lovely Memory" - Make it stand out Creativity is another avenue to presence.

I love to see the details in the everyday, snippets of small magic that cause me to take pause or to press the trigger on my iphone camera. This snapshot was taken a few hours before I wrote this post. The remnants of my painting day at the studio were probably not even dry as I uploaded it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/315b2c56-f004-4b7d-a5b2-caf94a7b43a5/Morning+Ritual+swimming.JPG Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #9 "Process and Practice" - Make it stand out Since we’re being vulnerable… I am also an early morning person. The water is my elemental home so early mornings find me swimming laps at the Y when at home in Canda. This pic above is me swimming in the pond I learned to swim in. Olympic sized and unheated in an Australian spring this pool was cause for a lifetime aversion to cold water. Thankfully I still love to swim and my local Y is an indoor pool heated all year round. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/52df6830-5ec5-4eb0-af94-fddd5541ece7/tempImageKkSNPz.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #9 "Process and Practice" - Make it stand out Words are powerful.

I share it here as an update. The left side “Heart” sold and was shipped across the country. My apprenticeship as shipper and receiver got a literal work out. Getting a 4 foot square into a purpose built cardboard box was an adventure for sure. One I imagine to be the equivalent of wrestling a crocodile into a tea cup. The Right hand side “Soul” is available but would have to be wrestled off the wall in my husband’s office where it is currently being “stored”. He can be so helpful :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/3e634dc2-fb45-4d2f-af48-5c33143dc714/tempImageL1gAmX.jpg Blog - Mindful Mandart Moment #9 "Process and Practice" - Make it stand out This detail has become the newest addition to the MANDART GREETING CARD BOX as well as a prototype for fuzzy Mandart Blankies, coming soon.

It comes from a painting on paper in acrylics and chalk pastel from the earliest days of my studio practice. The process now, as it did then, got me quiet and into the present moment.

Inspiration is everywhere. This snapshot taken in an incidental green space in Old Montreal. It provided a beginning, only. What a painting evolves into depends on the choices and marks I make in the process.

Any composition becomes a visual equation to be solved. This painting evolved comparatively quickly on my painting wall. Relationships between elements seemed to flow and my biggest concern was trying to avoidt destroying some of the lovely details that began to present themselves. Painting can often be an exercise in restraint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/30d26d01-7a90-4505-9bb8-b183c21e6382/tempImageCOlLhu.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 11, " KALEIDOSCOPE". - Make it stand out I love life in the details.

What we label the parts of our day depends a lot on our perspective. My husband was in another city (with me) for work but we took some culture breaks together when we could.

The breeze was brisk and I really appreciated the cosy warmth of the fireplace coupled with this cosy “ Napper” when all the fun was over. (ie when I could no longer feel my hands) The lesson, Listen to your body kids! This is a no frostbite zone. The double sided blanket shown is version 1 of 3 Mandart Blankies.

In this instance i was at the cottage where I had fortified myself with soft sound absorbing materials; quilts, foam mattresses and pillows and more quilts draped over a quilt rack in the acoustically sound bathroom.

Yes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/8f87e366-ce00-4956-a0ce-84874a278e4c/tempImage8MORz2.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 10, "RESONANCE: THE KELLY GANG". - Make it stand out This is the view to the south along Ponemah Beach on the shores of Lake Winnipeg where i walked and recorded the meditation for this episode.

In this example the intention is clear, though general. It is quickly absorbed into the very under layers of the substrate.

The Sweet Suite came about fairly quickly in the summer of 2022. I did not add an intention into every panel but the intention to play and love what i was doing in the process was a factor in the series as it developed in the studio.

Sometimes we need to focus on the ever inclining tech learning curve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/a9a8843d-63df-4127-88dc-ca83aea3e80a/Blue+Gums+detail+2.JPG Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 4 “BLUE GUMS”. - Make it stand out I do love the details that come out of my work and thought I would show you a couple. When we take parts of an image out of context we find all kids of appealing details and tangents to focus on. This is where my gaze rests while i am at work on any painting. Up close and personal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/cb2cecf2-dd71-42a3-8eb8-0843f4642105/tempImageIjnPk9.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 4 “BLUE GUMS”. - Make it stand out Here’s a behind the scenes pic. The side yard fence in the shade makes for a handy spot to photograph 4 foot panels. Thankfully I have understanding neighbours. who “Understand” I am an artist. This process is strictly a seasonal endeavour reserved for warmer weather only. Mid winter the snow bank in the side yard would be at least half way up this fence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/828bdd7b-ba35-4fa8-b7d6-3e5753d68c3e/Mandart+Studio+with+blue+gums+in+background.JPG Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 4 “BLUE GUMS”. - Make it stand out Without a photographer handy in my new studio building I am having to wear all the hats at “my office”. This was a recent attempt at photographing available work to post on instagram with me in it. I have successfully dodged having my picture taken in the past. The “solo selfie” offers a lot of opportunities to veto the results and press delete. How long do you think it too me to get this snapshot? Note Blue Gums in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/0ed55b1e-baea-4506-b6b7-ee8562426048/Blue+Gums+detail+3.JPG Blog - PODCAST Season 2, Episode 4 “BLUE GUMS”. - Make it stand out A last “BLUE GUM’S” detail, because I couldn’t resist.

Acrylic on panel, Each panel 48” x 48”, 2022 This is not the final version as I do remember adding some late marks while the pair hung on the outside of our cottage during the WAVE Interlake Artists Studio Tour in June of 2022. There’s always just one more thing to add that will either make a composition sing or kill it. I’m happy to report is continues to sing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/542f22f0-aeb5-40af-8683-46785c3c7db6/tempImageK8HIqE.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2 Episode 3 “WONDERLAND”. - Make it stand out WONDERLAND in the very early stages. I love the energy of the beginning stages when the action is rapid fire. My intention is always to cover the surface, to play and hold no attachment to any outcome. This is the stage where the composition starts to flesh out and lead the way forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/721c2505-3289-49a2-8d1f-ee825bab14f1/tempImage4QkcaU.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2 Episode 3 “WONDERLAND”. - Make it stand out WONDERLAND Ultra Detail.

These pics were taken in an incidental green space I discovered in the historic part of Montreal. The memory of the warm sunshine and the scramble of the uncultivated grasses and hardy native plants was where my focus was drawn as a starting point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/3b07ceb2-ab50-4aab-a6e1-8b571c65e8af/Wonderland+action+.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2 Episode 3 “WONDERLAND”. - Make it stand out Here I am at the studio laying down first marks.

This little vignette from WONDERLAND shows that less can definitely be more. This is the view I see while working at an arms length from a surface. We need to take a few steps back in real life to let the perspective settle and allow for the eye to fill in some of the details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/ea52d147-4f16-43cd-b055-fc7f67b9a3d3/tempImage0fxet6.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 2 Episode 3 “WONDERLAND”. - Make it stand out Wonderland has taken up temporary residence in my husbands office.( i.e he is storing it for me on his lovely large, neutral wall.

Here is a snapshot of CROSSROADS as an illustration. “Wisdom at the Crossroads” the book inspired the name of this Podcast. This little book I like to refer to as “Yoga for the Mind” or a picture book for adults. It has proven to be a favourite for girlfriend gifting and appears on coffee tables and book shelves everywhere.

I tell my clients that i can never replicate a painting of mine from an earlier era but somehow the intention translates and an impression of the original evolves into its own composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/42f36b19-e617-4d54-afde-5cf744043e25/Icelandic+Horses.jpg Blog - Season 2, Episode 1 “CROSSROADS" - Make it stand out These curious Icelandic Horses roam the lands the fictitious “CROSSROADS” was inspired by.

The original painting is tiny but technology allows me to enlarge and source compositional seeds for use in new work in textiles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/7be1085c-4bf3-4fe5-9983-0b2312706c25/tempImagepLqIzS.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 1, Episode 19 “SHRINKING VIOLETS" - Make it stand out You know I love to view life in the details.

This was part of a series that sought to find the colour in an emerging spring landscape. The frozen ponds get a hint of aqua that heralds the beginning of the spring melt. Its a colour I long to see after a long winter of white and grey. It shares the energy of a prairie “breeze”, though breeze might be too gentle a term for this time of year? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/b9c3a6d6-9d20-45c3-9c67-44415b379016/Prairie.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 1, Episode 18 “BREEZE AT BAY”.

This little vignette shows that less can definitely be more and that a descriptive mark can be made economically in acrylic paint. This is the view I see while working at an arms length from a surface. We need to take a few steps back in real life to let the perspective settle and allow for the eye to fill in some of the details. The underpainting is the choral orange of the “sky” that i liked so much i kept it. This close up muddles the boundaries where water meets terra firma in the subject matter and also blurs the expected colour story of foreground vs background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1d811bb1-c9b7-4f26-912c-862370776459/tempImageXHf8l0.jpg Blog - PODCAST Season 1, Episode 18 “BREEZE AT BAY”. - Make it stand out Studio practice is not only the work of creation in a painting practice. Sometimes studio practice could be called the work of connection. The WAVE Interlake Artists Studio Tour is a biennial feature. This diptych,“WONDERLAND:HEART /SOUL” was on display this past weekend, outdoors, in sunshine and in the rain. In this snapshot they offer a little context in terms of relative size to one of our visitors who perfectly contrasted the view behind her. Wonderland is 48” x 48” x 2 panels.

During one long ago visit a very large seal had taken up residence among these basalt rocks. We visited him every morning and on one of those visits the dolphin trio played their surfing games in a much fuller surf backlit in morning light. Beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/c9fd03ee-e333-44e4-81b7-f5cc5d129ed9/TUROSS+detail+sand+bar+at+T1.JPG Blog - PODCAST Season 1, Episode 17 “TUROSS”.

Fresh waters from Coila Lake then merge with the ocean.

The client then does not have to add a frame. Framing though, is like adding jewellery or mascara. It dresses the artwork up, adds the punctuation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/012e756d-8322-4aa2-827f-12931c741d3c/winter+detail+2.JPG Blog - PODCAST Season 1, Episode 16 “NOSTRUM / CURATIVE” - Make it stand out Here’s a little climate reference for you.

My work is said to be colourfyul but these new additions really upped the colour value. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1741632833583-GEZ460ZOIM1J6CI8BEBB/Garden+Glow%3A+Malachite+24%2522+x+30%2522+acrylic+on+canvas+2024.jpg Poppies Gallery - Garden Glow: Malachite Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 24” x 30” 2024 @$1050 each Diptych @$1850 (SOLD Summer 2025) The Glow of the garden Girls is enhanced by the addition of some flourescent colours into the mix as well as the use of contrasts. Colours oppoite on the colour wheel tend to duel, adding some action to surfaces. This dueling nature inherent with compliments is one of the devices I use that gives my work its signature vibrancy and adds visual movement to a static 2D surface. Thie Garden Glow group began in the summer of 2024 in our lakeside bunkhouse that I generously call my summer studio. The walls are unpainted and colour tends toreads a little differently when reflected off a wooden surface. The acid greens and flourescent hints are a loose representation of the memory of lake side garden I came across on a morning bikeride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745005784527-6MQVAMCRFRT0RFBTSMNZ/image-asset.jpeg Poppies Gallery - Sweet Treat : Bevvy (SOLD Summer 2025) Acrylic on Gallery Canvas, 11” x 14”, 2025. The Sweet Treats bloom perennially in my Winnipeg Studio. They are often an introduction to my work for those who are inspired by a garden theme. They are small enough to brighten any interior, yet pack a visual punch that outweighs their fighting class. I buy canvases 5 at a time to access the discount my art supply store offers so I am always adding 11 × 14’s to the back of my car. Some of them don’t make it to this page so if a Sweet Treat is appealing make sure to add yourself to my newsletter for reliable messaging. As a solo practitioner I’m too busy painting to ever find my way into anyones inbox more than twice monthly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688748036643-O4PLALMB6ZYWOMGS3N63/image-asset.gif Poppies Gallery - Fairmont Suite 1, Poppies: Game (SOLD Nov 2025) 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1757178946774-RASKW6S0Q59MCW45T69W/sisterhood+trio+2025.jpg Poppies Gallery -

Contingent Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 22” x 28”, 2023. $925 SOLDz This painting is part of a recent commission that began as reference to a personal landscape. Images supplied were not easy images tio work with as a starting reference. The first round of underpainting felt mediocre at best so at my second sitting I abandoned my original plans. Turning the panel upside down I instead created a composition more in keeping with my current studio focus. “There is no going forward looking backwards” ATO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1702580313949-WC5LRPIRF70WJ4RPNE6C/image-asset.jpeg Flora and Still Life Gallery - Serenade 22” x 28” Acrylic on gallery Canvas, 2023 $925 This painting was created as 1 of 4 pieces for a recent commission. Commissioned as a corporate retirement for a long time client. The client’s partner was the first to commission a work many years ago; A bouquet of white tulips as a gift for his wife. I continued the tulip as a motif as I felt the abundant landscape was suggestive of a career that had touched the lives of many. It also inferred a full circle moment, endings and beginnings in a world where our only constant is change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1702581776569-NDRNEIPCE7A9VBUM0HLM/image-asset.jpeg Flora and Still Life Gallery - Wonder Acrylic on Canvas 20” x 40”, 2023 $1200 SOLD Wonder was inspired by an ealier much larger diptych, “Wonderland”. Half of this pair shipped across the country to Halifax, Nova Scotia, while the Right hand side is off for framing for a corporate client. Wonderland continues to inspire me. It’s funny how a fresh look at particular details of an earlier iteration on a similar theme will initiate a new compositional journey in colour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688743986177-8V9PNX4JJ2QWCCKC1D5I/image-asset.jpeg Flora and Still Life Gallery - "Growth: Wisdom" Acrylic on Panel, 36” x 48”, 2023 Framed 38” x 50”, $2820 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1727304454854-FZJY3TKKJ8I4Y8X48T81/incidental+green+space%3Bjpg.jpg Flora and Still Life Gallery Incidental Green space 24” x 30” Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 2024 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745001287410-WBEKHY82X1WCQDIW9I9Q/image-asset.jpeg Flora and Still Life Gallery - Macaroon : Mauve Macaroon : Cosmos Acrylic on Panel 14” x 18” each, 2025 ( SOLD) This new pair bloomed in time for my most recent public gathering. Painting them was a reminder that a new season will eventually bloom. If your climate is like mine you might like, or need, some indor colour to counterract a spring season that is slow to start. This pair found their way to separate homes before they were even loaded onto the website. Stay informed about new work on the paintwall by signing up for my monthly news letter.

Often works hung on the paintwall together become a diptych or triptych. This time i wanted to play with darks and the textural detail of a wildly overgrown natural space. While the paintings developed on the paint wall together, they remain singletons. Cousins instead of sibling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1741638841694-FQNRUFKYJW9RC952CMTN/pg.jpg Flora and Still Life Gallery - The Blue Boy 18” x 36” Acrylic on Canvas 2024 @$1050 (SOLD September 2025) When is a painting finished and how do you give a painting a name? All good questions I’m often asked. It comes down to a feeling 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.

By Amanda Onchulenko, 2025 @ $350 I work in layers to build up colour and shapes that tend to infer an impression of landscape. In this case an often overlooked part of the landscape becamd the main attraction. Each panel of the series begins with a similar premise but each composition follows the individual marks as they combine to enrich the surface and suggest the depth of the roadside undergrowth.

The underpainting on this painting became a tonal gesture that started with black and white gesso and evolved from there. I like the subtleties of this piece, it’s loose simplicity and especially the heart peaking over the horizon that was pointed out to me by a friend on social media. Proof that we sometimes don’t see the gifts that are right in front of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1696435171296-Z3JZK7DMPW09T9XN1H98/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Free Spirit Diptych: Don Acrylic on Canvas 20” x 20” Don is the left side of the diptych $675 per panel $1050 diptych SOLD May 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1696435003567-ITCT8AIVB2113LLOB5VI/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Free Spirit Diptych: Fiona Right side of Diptych, Fiona is definitely free spirited,. 20” x 20”, Acrylic on Canvas, 2023. $675 per panel, Diptych $1050 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1678298679469-JKAHG4O9OPOACY2OSUOD/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Ocean of Earth Sweet Suite Series 11” x 14” Acrylic on panel, 2022 $350 SOLD may 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688746367042-4YIAYL4YPFN63PGJNJD0/image-asset.gif Landscapes Gallery - Square Prairie: Schema/ Lemon Delight Acrylic on Panel, 18” x 18”, 2023. $650 SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688745799573-TIE710LV93BDR9JZZFX5/image-asset.gif Landscapes Gallery - Energetic Diptych, Left Side: Echo Acrylic on Panel, 18” x 24”, 2023. $750 per panel Diptych $1300 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688745923659-U4UFYLQ5PD7PTXKVLF8X/image-asset.gif Landscapes Gallery - Energetic Diptych, Right Side: Sway Acrylic on Panel, 18” x 24”, 2023. $750 per panel Diptych $1300 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1678298990524-ZTH6MH59V91U6FHBV2N5/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - The District Sweet Suite Series 11” x 14” Acrylic on panel, 2022 $350 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1661985715015-PDSYCGO904FI2JT4BJ5K/image-asset.gif Landscapes Gallery - Big Sky From the Sweet Suite Series 11” x 14” Acrylic on Panel, 2022 $350 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1702580000648-T2UP4TR9A8E46IHBEG8S/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - "Lyric" Acrylic on Panel 18” x 24”, 2023. $725 This piece was one of a group of paintings created as part of a commission.

The journeys I take are inspired by the natural world around me. I’m a fair weather girl with an Australian background and a head full of naratives about spiders and snakes. After 30 years in Canada my respect for “Wild Life” remains intact. Though you wont find me physically negotiating tall grasses in bare feet I will happily take you on a visual journey to wherever your heart desires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745008720801-7C9FYMD8NMF9MNX2CWIB/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Sweet Treat : Choral SOLD AUGUST 2025 Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 11” x 14”, 2025 @ $350 As a Triptych height 14” x Width 33” @ $875 This little trio was an exercise in restraint. I can be the queen of overpainting. I begin with loose light marks without a plan and allow those marks to suggest a composition. The garden landscape is a frequent visitor to my paint wall. The soft choral of initial layers is left to bloom on the surface of the final piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745008136702-04CGDKRX80PAB19CGUFM/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Sweet Treat : Rosy SOLD August 2025 Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 11” x 14” each, 2025. @ $350 each As a Triptych: Height 14” x Width 33” @ $875 This little composition can stand alone independently while also contributing to the Sweet Treat Trio. A trip to the art supply store unearthed a sale on some acrylic paint that I quickly added to my cart. At the studio I later realised I had mistakenly bought flourescent colours that I am now adding to my compositions in small doses. It’s amazing how far a hint of highligter can go on a small surface. These sweet treats are even tastier as a result of my choice that is already revealing a silver lining. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745008988837-PZV2DOC0IHLI6DRTZMBM/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - Sweet Treat : Spritz SOLD AUGUST 2025 Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 11” x 14” @ $350 As a triptych Height 14” x 33” @ $875 Spritz is the third sibling in this trio but that doesnt make her any less important than her sisters. She is a combination of spring greens balanced out with the spring punch of warm pastels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1688746003114-J5LYOPT9G15GO4TQZHOK/image-asset.gif Landscapes Gallery - Energetic Diptych Echo: Sway (SOLD Nov 2025) Acrylic on Panel, 18” x 24” each.

This pair was recently framed 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745007474413-A49EK0G5Z1TMX1KGFM09/image-asset.jpeg Landscapes Gallery - "Sway", Right side of "Energetic Diptych" SOLD Acrylic on panel, 18” x 24” each panel @ $750 (Unframed) This pair was recently framed 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. https://www.mandart.ca/blog-1 daily 0.75 2021-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561303050003-PI8HNRFXRG3XWFGI3Q9U/Crossroads.jpg Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561154025298-1TVRNLBJO79N97RXTUAX/community+and+events%C2%A0 Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561154076659-DFHQDC7FEO0EPFM0VLYQ/process+and+inspiration Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561154098197-3UHW4UMB1BZQX7XONSKP/Reflective+wisdom%C2%A0 Blog https://www.mandart.ca/quilts-gallery daily 0.75 2022-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005812146-TGQ1QB58WQ6KQJN6JJJZ/04+-+Royal+Gala+Bloom.jpg Quilts Gallery - Royal Gala Bloom “ROYAL GALA: BLOOM” SIZE: 57 “(144cms) x 58 “(147cms) MATERIALS and TECHNIQUES: Acrylic Painting, Dye Sublimation/Fabric Printing, Machine Quilting, Satin Stitch Embroidery.

In this twist on the whole cloth quilt the quilted line was used as a drawing tool to enhance the expressive quality of the brushstroke on fabric. ARTIST STATEMENT: This quilt was one of the first I produced with the support of a Manitoba Arts Council grant. The goal was to examine commercial reprographic processes and their suitability for transferring the expressive quality of a brushstroke from my painting practice to fabric for use in my experimental art quilts. At the intersection of fine art, traditional craft and technology the negative space in one composition became the focus of another. This body of work was clearly lived in the details. The “Apples from Oranges” quilt series was successfully able to marry the duel passions of my studio practice as Painter and Fiber Artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005593903-YUYIYDU378SILJJXSQV9/Lemon+Zest.jpg Quilts Gallery - Lemon Zest “LEMON ZEST”, Completed April 2012, 57” x 79” ARTIST STATEMENT: Lemon Zest” is a testament to process; a merger of disciplines and ideas. The quilt was a gift I made for myself, the product of a healing journey celebrating renewal after an accident. The process provided both focus and challenge. It taught me about yes I can, when previously, I could not. It was color therapy in its purest sense; a little joy caught up in a casual spring bouquet. Beginning with a small acrylic painting on canvas exploring complimentary pairs, “Lemon Zest” evolved through commercial reprographic processes and major changes in scale and media. The quilted line in the background was done by machine to enhance the gestural quality of brushstrokes present in the original image. The basting stitch was retained as a feature and reminder that the beginning of the journey, the process, need not be erased at the destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005609397-HBR5Q3VD2ST1X1VJJSPN/Gardening+Girls+Frolic01.jpg Quilts Gallery - Gardening Girls Frolic “GARDENING GIRLS FROLIC” 112cms (44”) x 102cms (40”), Techniques: Silk, dye, machine quilting and embroidery, opaque and translucent overlays, applique. Inspired by the visual gluttony of my sister in law’s summer garden, a single piece of silk charmeuse became my canvas. What to a watercolorist would be a nightmare on a vertical surface for me became a speedy game against gravity. This dye painted background formed the foundation of a multi layered silk surface for machine: appliqué, quilting and embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005556591-OPW17WSRW8QBQ8VWRSUE/Onchulenko_Granny+Smith%27s+Silver+Lining_58%2C5+x+57%2C5.jpg Quilts Gallery - Granny Smith's Silver Lining “GRANNY SMITH’S SILVER LINING”, 57 “(146cms) x 58“(149cms) Completed: 2009 MATERIALS: Duchess Satin, Acrylic Painting on panel “Shrinking Violets” 2008, Dye Sublimation/Fabric Printing. ARTIST STATEMENT: In my painting practice consecutive layers of colour build an image. It is an evolving process where the remnants of past actions combine with new additions on the surface and it is here I often discover compositions within compositions. By moving these negative spaces through changes in scale and media our perception of them changes and the negative literally becomes a positive. These small wonders can then really bloom. I used the quilted line as a drawing tool to enhance the expressive quality of the brushstroke transferred to fabric. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005641269-93ZUHHEIR0DJAI17CBUQ/Flourish.jpg Quilts Gallery - Flourish “FLOURISH”, 51” x 51”, Completed: 2004 MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES: Hand painted and commercial silks were pieced and layers and appliquéd to form a fabric interpretation of a series of paintings. Machine embroidery, machine quilting. ARTIST STATEMENT: “Flourish” combines my dual passions of painting and quilting. Flourish was inspired by the discordant abundance of the hardy perennials in my midsummer garden. The poppy, a personal favorite, personifies play, joy, and community. It flamboyantly announces its fortitude on every continent of the earth. Here I have painted it with a flourish in warp and weft. “Flourish” was the first quilt I entered into any competition. It won an honorable mention award as a finalist in the Husqvarna Viking International Gallery of Quilt Art 2004. It was exhibited internationally through the US and Europe from Fall 2004- August 2006 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005662354-89W6AC6ECLHTNRI1N8MK/Blossom+3.jpg Quilts Gallery - Blossom 3 “BLOSSOM” 2010, c.55” x 57”, The quilt “BLOSSOM” represents the intersection of technology and tradition. A modern take on the whole cloth quilt, it is hand quilted with the basting stitch where the labor of assembly remains to perform utilitarian and aesthetic functions. It honors the traditional concept of the handmade despite the fact that the image itself was harvested from “Shrinking Violets” (12” x 13”, Acrylic on Board) of my “Trespassing Series”, 2008 and exists beyond generally accepted standards of the printing industry. This merger of Fine Art, Craft and Technology reminds me to look within, to take some time to reevaluate from a different perspective and most importantly to know that the true jewels are often already present, if we only take the time to be open to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005674790-AQNOZS3B3QCRMP0MZL77/Bishop%27s+Grand+View.jpg Quilts Gallery - Bishop's Grand View “Bishops Grand View”, 51” x 51”, 2005 Techniques: Hand painting, dying of silks Machine piecing, applique and quilting ARTIST STATEMENT: A single piece of silk dupioni provided a base for painting directly with dye onto fabric. The collage of painting details was printed using my home computer then appliqued using satin stitch and machine quilted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005712215-71WGC2GG6PPU6A9RELW6/08+-+Rhythm+and+Blues.jpg Quilts Gallery - Rhythm and Blues “RHYTHM AND BLUES”, 2006, 63” x 49” Hand painted and dyes silk, machine pieced, applique, stain stich embroidery. Statement: “Rhythm and Blues” grew out of my “Municipalities” quilt series where single scraps of colour paired then partnered, established families, then communities. The process developed into a fabric discussion of tolerance, unity, harmony and discord. Individual colours spurred action and reaction as a consequence of proximity and proportion. My role became that of an adjudicator, threading together, piecing, placing, collating and coaxing out these relationships. This quilt represents the footprint of a journey, my journey and any journey where the only constant is change. It journeyed to the UK on exhibition where the contemporary and challenging unbordered edge was not tolerated by traditionalists at that time. It remains one of my favorite early art quilts that also exhibited in the Manitoba Craft council juried show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005721689-ZPRJTWY9PO3AQL7CS18B/07+-+The+conductor+has+new+shoes.jpg Quilts Gallery - The Conductor Has No Shoes THE CONDUCTOR HAS NEW SHOES” March 2008 Size: 62” (w) x 65 1/2” (h) Materials and Techniques: Silk was hand painted with dye and pieced into sections along with commercial silk solids. Compositional seeds of my acrylic paintings, printed onto silk, provided indirect painterly details. ARTIST STATEMENT: Pathways of energy are aligned in rows of towers that step over hills and valleys into the countryside and swing from eaves to streetlight on residential streets. Everywhere, webs of wires lunge between conductors to keep us connected one thread at a time. This quilt was inspired by an unintentional urban greenspace where towers of energy stand opposite a busy suburban mall. The cosmopolitan girls in the quilt shoulder the energy that unites us but not before they have been to that mall to pick up just one more pair of shoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005757536-T5T1B7CA7F30K1WU3YZC/06+-+Shrinking+Violet.jpg Quilts Gallery - Shrinking Violet “SHRINKING VIOLET” Fall 2008 39 “(98cms) x Length: 39” (98cms) Techniques: Acrylic paint on board, digital scan, dye sublimation, whole cloth machine quilting. ARTIST STATEMENT: In this modern twist on the whole cloth quilt the dye sublimation process formed the foundation that allowed me to take a detail from my painting practice, make changes in scale and media, and use the quilted line to enhance the gestural quality of my brushstroke. Marks made in the pursuit of expression carry a creative signature unique to the artist and specific to media. The experimental processes used in this body of work allowed me to transfer details from one arm of my studio practice for use in another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005768478-3DA08UPNRBCAG7VRNHE3/05+-+Singing+the+Blues.jpg Quilts Gallery - Singing the Blues “SINGING THE BLUES” Fall 2008, 38 “(98cms) x 41” (105.5cms) Techniques: Acrylic painting on panel, digital scan, Dye sublimation, and whole cloth machine quilting. ARTIST STATEMENT: As a painter my painterly signature evolves out of the media I choose and the way that media reacts with a surface. The dye sublimation process has allowed me to transfer my painterly signature to fabric without compromising the materiality of paint or the malleability of the fabric surface. This quilt was an early example of experiments with reprographic processes made possible by the award of a Manitoba Arts Council production grant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1561005790324-XJBLTFPWJZTTFVDDQKVP/01+-+Where+Fairies+Frolic.jpg Quilts Gallery - Home: Where Fairies Frolic Panel #2 “Where Fairies Frolic” Manitoba Prairie, the present, 19 ¾” (w) x 39 ½” (h) This piece was commercially printed using the dye sublimation process.

Finished just in time for the summer break each of the 3 players in this grouping are named in honour of all the long winter nights I dream of my summer garden in bloom. This field of dreams is fictional, made of marks and shapes gathered intuitively on the canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745001904189-5JY0GSVJWFLVQKDYK1TJ/image-asset.jpeg Series Gallery - Sisterhood : First Born (SOLD Oct 2025) 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1757183777537-LR86PMTEIR3SWDM0I6K8/June%2B2025%2BFielding%2BDreams_%2BGrowth_%2BNurture_%2BBounty.jpg Series Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1748374021058-Y4781KLERFQVMDEWUIUT/Sisterhood+trio+middle+child+2%3A3+.jpg Series Gallery - Sisterhood: Middle Child (SOLD October 2025) 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1745003094192-1E8M9WOC2C1HD64MUX5T/image-asset.jpeg Series Gallery - Sisterhood : The Bebe (SOLD October 2025) 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. https://www.mandart.ca/artwork-for-sale-gallery daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd91b901eb940001d07394/1767114046311-9OFACTQ11D47NXEEMR4B/Into+the+wilds+FINAL+30%2522+x+48%2522+acrylic+on+g+can+2025.jpg Artwork For Sale - Into the Wilds Acrylic on Gallery Canvas 36” x 48” by Amanda Onchulenko, 2025 This series was inspired by roadside vegetation in full bloom at the end of a Canadian Summer.
