About My.Heart.Beats.Here.

Vancouver artist Pat Service has always found inspiration in nature for her beautiful paintings.

This series of florals documents a variety of single blossoms. A Grouping of four flowers are rendered in a deep purple, creamy yellow, mossy green, and smooth velvet. Reminiscent of Andy Warhol, Service’s flowers are pared down to the essentials--simple shapes without leaves or stems. An avid gardener, Pat Service has painted florals throughout her career. Displayed together, these florals make a dynamic statement.

“The flowers with their radiance and intensity initiate the act of putting paint on canvas but they don’t control the result. The result has more to do with the curious act of ‘painting’, playing with hue, surface texture and mark making.” Pat Service

She acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of B.C. and later studied art at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. Service’s work is held in private collections in North America, Britain, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Each painting measures 30 x 30 inches.
