Introducing Silene Speirs, who is a self-taught artist. Silene's
artwork will be available exclusively through the Roseart Company as she has
joined efforts with them to offer her artwork on Roseart and Zippo products.
 She was born in 1942 in Vicenza, Italy and developed an interest in
art at a very early age. Many sculptors lived in her neighborhood where she
grew up. As a child, Silene went almost every day after school from one
artist shop to the next, watching them sculpt for hours. Inspired by this
experience she developed a very unique painting technique that has become
her signature style. She is able to give life to an amazing landscape of
shapes and textures and using incredible patchworks of colors and patterns.
They are reminders of the ones often found in the decorative arts of her
native Italy; she creates beautiful and intricate quilts on canvas. Her work
is highly imaginative and intensely refined. She has 3 children, and has
been married to Joe for 45 years. Joe is a lighter collector who attends
lighter shows. She draws while Joe is working his table and making trades
and swaps. Her favorite media is oil, and then prisma color pencils.
Please join us in welcoming this beautiful artwork to the lighter
collecting world. Pictured is the first Silene artwork chosen to be offered
for sale. |
