Studio The Javanese | Gwen van Schaik |
Gwen van Schaik
In Victoria Gwen began exploration into her creative side. She taught herself to paint on silk in old European tradition and techniques. Presently, printmaking is her focus and passion. Gwen’s silks and prints are symbolic, metaphorical, and whimsical in nature. Her imagery is inspired by Carl Jung’s archetypes, her work with people afflicted with mental illness, and a search to bring light into her own shadow self. |
