Biographical Information
Billie Rae Busby ~ [21st century] Canadian
see artist's website at billieraebusby.com; listed on Artists in Canada, a Union List of Artists' Files, by National Gallery of Canada Library et al, Canadian Heritage Information Network [CHIN] website
Billie Rae Busby creates abstract paintings of the Canadian landscape using a precise hard-edge technique and colour theory to reinvent her surroundings. Her intuitive paintings evoke wonder and possibility by using layered linear and geometric shapes to depict mood, memory, movement, seasons and time. Born in Saskatchewan and educated at the University of Saskatchewan [B.A. Studio Art ’98], the Calgary artist is inspired by both the complexity of urban architecture and the vast rural landscape. She strives to interpret ordinary places in a fresh, new context. Since 2007, her art has been exhibited across Canada and collected by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, TC Energy, Calgary Stampede Art Collection in the BMO Centre and Canada House [the Canadian High Commission] in London, England. She is represented by Canada House Gallery in Banff, Alberta.
