Connie O’Connor is a Canadian artist whose focus is abstract art using acrylic and mixed media. She paints intuitively creating depth, movement and energy in each piece. She moves between abstracted landscapes and complete abstraction using colour, shape, form and texture to express herself. A prairie native growing up on a farm in Manitoba, Connie’s inspiration comes from big blue skies and sweeping vistas. Her interest in, and love for the arts began when she was young and evolved over the years through a teaching career in fashion and design. The influence of her fashion background is evident in her use of textures, patterns and varied colour palettes. Her intuitive style and inspiring meditative titles draw viewers in. Connie considers it an honour when someone loves her work so much it becomes part of their home. She currently lives in the Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada.

Connie has a Bachelor of Home Economics from University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba and post Secondary Degree in Education from University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. She enjoyed teaching high school for years and in many different subjects areas and schools. Connie’s creativity shone throughout her career; her favourite course to teach was Fashion & Design. In 2006, a serious illness, breast cancer, was diagnosed. However, cancer paradoxically opened new doors for Connie. Her recovery plan included mindful meditation and an opportunity to take her first acrylic workshop. In December 2016 she entered her first show with the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA). Since then she developed her art practise through course work with well known Canadian artists and on line with international artists. Life long learning is in her DNA and she continues to develop her style and abstract expressionism daily.
