Artistic practice
Rela is a watercolour and acrylic artist living and working in St. Catharines, Ontario. She paints the things we see every day but rarely stop to appreciate - quiet moments, familiar objects, the little details that make life feel rich and textured. Through still life and thoughtful compositions, she plays with colour and light, finding beauty in the ordinary.
Art has been woven into Rela's life for as long as she can remember. With a background in both art and education, she spent years creating while raising her family. As her children grew, she found her way back to painting with fresh energy and focus, slowly nurturing her practice and sharing her work through exhibitions, collections, and commissions.
Her inspiration comes from the everyday—baking in the kitchen, a bowl of fruit on the counter, jars and objects arranged just so. These are the moments she invites us to pause and notice. Her paintings are vibrant yet calming, often touched with warmth, curiosity, and a hint of playfulness.
