Aurora Sky Art - Artist Aimy Van der Linden

Visual Art – Calgary

My name is Aimy, proud artist behind Aurora Sky Art. I have created and been involved with art since a very young age. Picture watercolor books on a fisher price picnic table, that was me. Throughout school I was always taking visual arts courses to offset the pressures of education. I won various accolades including scholarships, produced murals, and continued to explore my creative expression as a form of pleasure and release. In university my heart still belonged to art as I pursued a different career path- Which would later take over my life and I no longer had time to create. In the past year in an attempt to regain balance in my life, I returned to my passions of art and exploring nature to find peace. Aurora Sky Art arose from my desire to always continue to have an artistic outlet and to share my passions with the world. The name Aurora Sky Art came from brainstorming magical and beautiful occurrences in nature with my husband. Some of the best nights of my life were when an aurora borealis came out -pure dreamlike splendor in my mind. Artwork by Aurora Sky Art focuses on interpreting the beauty in nature. I aim to evoke a feeling that you have in nature rather than a copy of it. The artwork takes on a abstract or surrealist perspective intended to offer an escape into the mountains, night skies, sunsets, trees, lakes, etc. which give us pause and peace.
