I’m Amara Spring, a Vancouver-based abstract expressionist artist. My work is intuitive and layered, created through feeling, movement, and inner experience rather than planning. I paint as a way to explore identity, emotion, and transformation, letting the piece evolve naturally in the moment.

My art style is poetic and symbolic, rooted in imagination rather than realism. I create dreamlike worlds where humans, animals, and nature merge into one living presence—faces become landscapes, bodies grow like trees, and water flows from eyes, mouths, and mountains. I am drawn to softness, stillness, and quiet emotion, often using surreal imagery to express love, transformation, wisdom, and spiritual connection.

James, based in Vancouver, specializes in rusty-colored surrealism and oil painting. He enjoys participating in light-hearted community-building competitions.

A friend/arch nemesis has qualified for the next round up and she has challenged me to qualify as well so that i might "fight her at art."

Pretty.
