5. Artistic Statement (A. Powers,

NotWithABrush)
The ripple of a crisp edge cutting
through the ice is a sound and feeling
that I hold most dear to my heart.
Turning and gliding across the ice on
my skates yields a sense of freedom
and belonging. Skating creates
tracings on the ice that produce
patterns and designs; these designs
become art, each with their own
unique meaning, shape and curve.
Through painting, I have expanded
these on ice tracings and transformed
their movement and interpretation to a
canvas. My painting is the
continuation of my artistic momentum
taken off the ice and transferred to the
studio. Snapshots of skating patterns
I create, shift from ice to canvas my

blade glides through the paint as if I
were on the ice, making shapes and
designs akin to their on ice tracings.
My painting is an extension of my on
ice artistry, an expansion of my
imagination and creativity from ice to
canvas.
Figure skating is sport that equals
athleticism with artistry - this marriage
of technique, beauty and form is
something that I attempt to capture in
my painting. As a Canadian, skating is
part of my cultural identity; this artistic
sport has shaped my career and
character, and has grounded my roots
in this geographical area. Skating is
the genesis of my passion for art,
creativity and country using my
skates to create pictures on a canvas
provides me with an additional
avenue to express my passion for the
ice and of the valuable life lessons
skating has taught me.
