Internationally recognized artist, Mia Abelson, works primarily in the NYC area, focusing on the banks of the Hudson River, working to capture both, its timeless grandeur and the ever-changing moods. Her work, distinguished by vibrant, almost fantastical colours and dramatic textures, has been honoured by numerous artistic awards. She paints by blending pigments together on canvas using a palette knife. This technique permits a loose, spontaneous style allowing texture to evolve naturally.The goal of her painting is to evoke the mood of a natural setting and to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the natural, almost magical beauty of a landscape. Mia Abelson is represented by American Art Galleries and her works are in private and corporate collections in the US, Europe and Asia.
