“Fresh Retro Introspect” is a collection of paintings by Daisy Fresh. She is considered a representational artist, her paintings being somewhat abstracted by her choice of composition. Her images of people evoke a sense of time made still. Ordinary people doing mundane things are made dramatic and significant with lighting and composition. A “Fresh Retro Introspect” suggests a modern approach to examining the past, in a creative insightful way. To view Daisy’s work’ click the link to the online store.http://shop.lawrencehouse.ca
