Tanya Kirouac
Tanya Kirouac is a Montreal-born, Canadian contemporary abstract artist specializing in landscape. Tanya’s work emerges from memory, travel, and imagined places. Working primarily in encaustic (hot wax) and oil with cold wax, they build layered compositions of rich color, carving and scraping each surface to reveal hidden textures and subtle depth. The intuitive process balances chance, discovery, and meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in abstract landscapes that invite viewers to explore complex surfaces and layered narratives.
After a career in art direction, graphic design, and college-level design instruction, the artist transitioned to full-time painting, exhibiting work widely in private and corporate collections worldwide. Their paintings have been featured on HGTV design shows, in interior design magazines, and in artisan publications. Extensive travel and participation in art fairs continue to inspire the artist’s evolving body of work, contributing to the archive of experiences that inform each composition.
