ABOUTShaina Hardie is an abstract artist residing in Toronto, Ontario. Growing up in the Kawartha Lakes and subsequently moving to the city has had a large impact on Shaina’s style and chosen subject matter. Her paintings showcase a signature geometric elegance with collections inspired by both the natural and urban landscape.
A self-taught artist from a young age, Shaina has spent the better part of her life developing (and continuing to develop) her craft. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. Currently, Shaina is studying the effect of colour on our psyche and how to best apply these principles to her artwork in order to enhance how we interact with our living and corporate spaces.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"My signature style has been carefully crafted over many years, heavily inspired by Cubism and Impressionism. I enjoy the vast difference in emotions that my work explores when viewed from various distances. Viewed from afar, my pieces evoke a sense of calmness and balance. The complete picture and subject matter are evident as the colours blend together. A nod to impressionism.
Mid-range, you begin to experience the geometric lines. Rhythm becomes more apparent as your eyes are drawn throughout the canvas. I aim to make the viewer feel inspired and energized...a sense of creativity and even mindfulness is activated as you dissect the pieces.
Up close is chaos. A collision of colour and lines, layers of paint and texture interacting in a fractional manner. A different emotion entirely.
From any vantage point, my work aims to induce a sense of mindfulness and exploration of creativity: to spark conversation. I enjoy implementing colour psychology into my work to compliment a myriad of desired emotions and productivity to enhance the design of corporate and living spaces."
