Educated and formally trained in design, painter Chantal Westby nevertheless creates an intuitive, energetic world of whimsy on her canvases.
Neat and clean in her use of line, Westby’s works express an evocative feeling of vigor and vivaciousness. With a sumptuously controlled color palette, these works are graceful in their spiritual fluidity of rhythm and measure. Imaginative and meticulous in skill, they sparkle through the artist’s nuanced approach to the outside world.
Translated and inspired by poignant artistic and truthful vision, this world comes alive for an eclectic audience. At once ardently personal and uniquely universal, Westby’s works evoke the timeless beauty of our shared universe, articulated in her purity of form and line. A natural color palette places us in the tangible, yet the shapes and compositions whisk us away to a deeper, mystical place.
With a certificate in “haute couture,” MFA in clothing design from a school in Paris, and the school of Pennsylvania Academy of arts. Chantal Westby has committed her life to aesthetics. She lives and works in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA.
