Masterful Meanings in Light and Shadow
The Paintings of Ettina
by Georgianna Lane, for Fine Art Registry®
Ettina A. EmcVonEakin was born in Eugene, Oregon and has been fortunate to live throughout her life in scenic locations throughout the West. Recently, she moved back to Oregon after residing in Utah for many years and is establishing a new studio and embarking on the next adventure in her destiny as an artist.
Creative from an early age, Ettina considers herself mostly self-taught and avidly continues learning through keen observation, the study of art history and other artists, and finding inspiration in museums and the work of acknowledged masters.
"My education in art is continuous and I hope never ending, I always happen upon something stunning that touches me deeply and I do everything to find out about that work or artist, and take what made my heart skip a beat and bleed it into my work (once I figure out what "it" was, which can't always be put into words for me).
Some of the more well-known artists that have inspired her in her work are Salvador Dali, for his symbolism and freedom, and John Waterhouse for his drama, palette and incredible "old masters" talent. She also loves the work of modern master, David Leffel, and has a soft spot for Michaelangelo, Da Vinci and Van Gogh.
"But If I had to pick one artist who continues to influence me, it would be John Waterhouse. His stunning work puts you into the painting and sometimes brings tears to my eyes. You can smell the flowers, hear the sounds and feel the warmth of the day.
"The style of the old masters with some modern techniques is what I aspire to.”
