Magdalena Jane is a contemporary artist based in Vancouver with a visual arts degree from UBC Okanagan. Her work is instinct-led that's quietly informed by the understanding of colour, experimentation, and composition — made by feeling.

This daily study collection began with a curiosity of oil pastels and florals (surprisingly enough) as my roots are in abstract art. After a few months of exploring my love for florals, my heart was tugging me back towards abstract, so I dedicated this month to developing my style and working on compositions and colour theory. I have to thank my floral studies because they created this series, they literally made me stop and admire flowers I had never noticed in my neighbourhood (sounds cheesy I know). Helping me realize there are so many beautiful things around us that we take for granted, and if we stopped to take note of these little things we may be a tad (or a lot) happier. You'll still find floral silhouettes and colour palettes inspired by moments outside of the studio in my artwork. These studies are my little reminder to the world to admire the mundane.

When I'm not in the studio, I'm probably at a dog park.
