Fern Rempel is a visual artist from near Waldeck, Saskatchewan. Fern grew up with an artist father and has had a lifelong love of creating art but did not pursue it for many years. Inspired by a class in acrylic painting at the Art Gallery of Swift Current in 2007, Rempel took up brush and paints and has not looked back.
A natural colourist, Rempel is largely self-taught and her work shows a gift for observation and her unique style is instantly recognizable. She gains inspiration from that which most of us overlook – abandoned farmsteads, animals in the field, old jars and crockery; the items of lives lived and times past. Her paintings combine a sense of history with a strong colour palette and a soft, impressionist style.
Her work has expanded to include drawings and pastel work.
Rempel has participated in the annual Summer Show exhibition at the Art Gallery of Swift Current and is a founding member of an art group that meets monthly to learn and explore new techniques while inspiring one another.
