Artist June Stratton (Artist from Hawaii)

 Contemporary Hawaiian artist June Stratton

“Where I live, water surrounds me. Inevitably, my dreams often include water. As the dreams go away, I can seemingly move from one scenario to another, however this is not possible in real life. It is difficult to accurately capture my ideas, so I allow my models to portray a thought / feeling using a natural setting. In a way, it's like an old-fashioned pantomime, only modern "
June Stratton.

June was born in Hawaii, but when she was still very young, she and her parents moved to the United States of America, California. The girl's love for art was manifested in her childhood. June graduated from a local art college, and then continued her self-study in search of her unique style and technique. It took Stratton no less than ten years to find herself, she moved many times and constantly got acquainted with new artists and their work, after which she began a professional career as a painter.
June Stratton's works are ephemeral paintings that carry an ideal look at the beauty of the surrounding reality, they have bright colors, and are based on rich impressions of dreams that exist on the verge of truth and speculation. In her canvases, she actively uses female symbolism and a corresponding view of the paintings. The author, with his works, as it were, tells us to go on the road with her, plunge into the beautiful and unique, because reality is tenderness and a storm of feelings and emotions.
In the mid-eighties, the artist moved to Seattle, where she was able to make acquaintances with many famous talented painters who made their living through art. Since that time, June has plunged headlong into the world of fine art, since the situation in those years in the city allowed for this.
During the first years, the girl was engaged in exceptional landscape themes, mastering oil paints. It was such works that were exhibited at her first exhibition in her life. The artist very quickly sold out her works, and it was since then that her fame and celebrity began to count as an excellent painter. As the author herself writes, in order to achieve great heights in the visual arts, you need to have the proper level of perseverance and have creativity in order to solve the difficulties that have arisen. It is necessary to create such an atmosphere so that the mind is open to creativity. With twenty-five years of successful exhibitions around the world, her work has been acquired for many major collections, including Bank of America, US Department of State, Mayo Clinic and Texaco Incorporated.
Now June Stratton successfully presents her work at many fairly well-known exhibitions, and the number of her fans is growing by leaps and bounds. Successful solo and group exhibitions at Savannah and Boston's Lanoue Fine Art Gallery have confirmed her uniqueness and the relevance of the style she developed, as the artist herself characterizes "drawings, in a cinematic style" ... Some of her latest works can be seen in major national and international collections, including the acclaimed St Regis Hotel art collection.
