Annette Kraft van Ermel
Annette Kraft van Ermel is an award-winning Canadian artist from Waterloo, ON. Her mixed media works are recognized for their raw allure. Nature, re-imagined.
Kraft van Ermel has developed her own unique technique that incorporates use of wax with oil paint. Creating charcoal drawings inspired by nature, these are then enveloped with hot wax before the painting begins. Layers of oil are applied and manipulated to intentionally obscure the familiar. Subjects, often bees and flora, emerge with complexity and edge.
Kraft van Ermel received her Bachelor of Fine Art from York University in Toronto, ON in 1992 and has been exhibiting her work widely in group and solo exhibitions across Ontario ever since. Her works may be found in private collections throughout Canada and internationally in the United States, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, and Brazil.
