" My true artistic expression begins when I step away from external noise and look inward. That's exactly where my abstract artworks find their power. For me, art is a deeply personal journey β driven by intuition, emotion and raw presence. They are spontaneous expressions born from pure feeling and exploration. Each brushstroke is a statement, each colour an emotion, and each composition a story told without words. The canvas becomes a mirror of the unseen β a place where imagination is free to roam without boundaries."
Loretta Kaltenhauser's work encapsulates the essence of modern abstract with its robust shapes, mood and symphony of colours. It serves as an imaginative conduit between space, thoughts and emotions with its large-scale presence. Abstract forms ignite the canvas standing as a testament to the raw power of creativity flowing unfettered. Loretta's paintings transform any interior, infusing it with energy and a touch of the sublime. She has been a full-time, freelance artist since 2012, and in that time has established herself as an accomplished contemporary artist with collectors worldwide. Loretta is originally from Belleville, Ontario, has lived most of her life in Toronto, and now resides in Cobourg, Ontario with her husband John, also a professional artist.

Everyone should know about
I started painting late in life ( 58 ) after resigning from my office job which I loathed. My husband John and I relocated to Cobourg from Toronto and I was excited to see what I could accomplish. Self-taught, I painted and experimented every day and within a couple of years sold my very first painting at The Riverdale Artwalk for a thousand dollars. Everything after that just fell into place and with continued hard work has been a dream of a lifetime.
Favourite artist(s) right now
Actually my fave artist at the moment is an AI creator. She has amazing videos with her own fashions which she designed and writes her own songs. Check out her page on Youtube or Instagram : Kelly Boesch AI Art. That said, I believe people will always be drawn to and love art made by hand.
