Simone Bos

As a Canadian artist, Simone is inspired by the wild and beautiful landscapes of northern Ontario. Her paintings often feature the Ahmic lakeshore, found in Magnetawan. Simone focuses on the use of layered cubes of color to transform photos into feelings on canvas. She finds that the intentional use of brushstrokes as cubes and lines gives rhythm and interest to her paintings, and allows for a calming art making experience. It is her goal to paint the wind, and to capture a sense of joy and wonder that landscapes can evoke. In 2019 Simone received her Bachelor of Arts from Redeemer University, and hopes to complete teacher’s college at Redeemer in 2021. Since 2017 Simone has been painting seriously, and has shown art in Julia Veenstra’s Square Foot Show and Paula White Diamond’s Square Foot and Big Ideas Show in 2019 and 2020, and in Blue Crow Gallery’s Summer Group Show in 2020. Simone is motivated to paint by observing the intricate and spectacular art of the Creator, the innovative Group of Seven, and the ever-changing effects of light determining the world we see. Simone continues to think about, and explore, how to engage with God in a meaningful way through her art. I rejoice in the Lord… I will be glad and exalt in you, I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Psalm 104:34, 9:2)
