Walking on Water, Artist Reception for Patricia Canelake

“Walking on Water” is a series of artworks by Patricia Canelake, now exhibited at Duluth Pottery, Tile & Gallery. In her art, she presents figures in connection to water. Her print techniques are a combination of monotype prints, etching and paper plate lithography. This makes each print unique and one of a kind. The figures are near the beach or on the waters and the narrative is “both simple and mysterious.” “Walking on Water” is a saying that “implies a miraculous act but also conveys the enigmatic connection to water & the state of existence.”

Patricia Canelake is influenced by the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean near The Fine Arts Work Center print studio in Provincetown Massachusetts and the water of Lake Superior in Knife River, Minnesota where she lives.
