Hilda Spain-Owen’s art is primarily single-subject driven work, animal or human.  It is about bold sizes, bright colors, and unique texture. The subject fills as much of the canvas as possible.  Spain-Owen leaves the background abstract, further pushing the subject forward. Contrast, thus interest, is again enhanced by keeping the lines of the subject drawing realistic while choosing colors that are impressionistic.  Further impressionism comes from the texture achieved by using a palette knife and layering high viscosity paint. The result...you are tempted to reach out and touch it.

Spain-Owen's art works well in all venues, traditional to contemporary.  Those with traditional taste who collect her giclées often frame them with double mats and ornate frames giving them an old world feel..
