Buoyed Up on Portage Bay Print

Pulling bold yet peaceful color palettes together, CR Rousseau creates dreamlike paintings with play and discovery. She likes to explore styles and challenge previous approaches using oil, acrylic, water color, ink and all forms of mixed media making each series unique. Once informally referred to as the Eighth of "The Group of Seven", CR Rousseau is privileged to be thought of as an American cousin to this distinctive style. Elegantly breaking away from traditional landscapes, she embraces a personalized sense of the natural world with twists of imbued color wrapped into abstract forms. This work was integral to the evolution of her new abstract expressionist work (not yet shown online). Exhibiting primarily in Seattle, Edmonds and Bainbridge Island, Washington, as well as in Sausalito, San Francisco, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Santa Barbara, California. Rousseau's work can also be found internationally in private collections and Global Art Fairs, such as Canvas International Art Fair in Venice, Italy.
