Drea Cohane is a self-taught artist who draws and paints from the city of Kitchener-Waterloo. Her work has been exhibited in North America and England. She is currently enrolled in the 24-25 Turps Correspondence Course. Like Alice Neel, I do not think of myself as a portrait painter but rather a people painter. I paint people because I have always been fascinated by human nature; more specifically, by the interior lives we carry within us. These enigmatic inner landscapes are mostly kept hidden from a passerby, but will sometimes - and often fleetingly reveal themselves in a passing gesture or look. In my paintings, I strive to capture a quality or expression through the use of colour and contour that distils something of the interior life of a person. Whether it's just a mere glimpse of what's going on under the surface, there is always an urgent sense of a passing mood playing out before the viewer.
