Creek Village
Gallery And Cafe

Hi! My name is Caitanna Hoffman, and I am 18 years old and currently in grade 12. I am a very creative person by nature and grew up with many artistic influences in my life, especially my older sister and many of our friends. I have grown especially intentional with my art--my time spent on it, the quality, and the subjects, the past few years. My favourite things to paint are people and landscapes, and watercolor is my favourite medium.  
  My watercolor journey only started about 2-3 years ago, but ever since I have been introduced to watercolour, I can’t put my brush down. No other medium of art has resonated with me in the same way--it felt like watercolour painting was made for me. I greatly enjoy the variety: it can be soft or loud, can show great depth of mood and a variety of textures. I started with landscapes but predominantly paint people in my latest artwork.  
  Art is a way for me to express my feelings and view of the world in a way other people, and myself, can analyze and understand. Painting gives me the space to be myself in a world where being myself more often than not makes me feel like I am too much.  
  I will always be so grateful to all the people in my life who have encouraged my artistic abilities, especially my parents and my siblings. I greatly support promoting art and artists within their communities, and I am so thankful to have my art displayed at Creek Village Cafe.
