Vanessa Bates started her career as a graphic designer and illustrator but gravitated towards
fine art as her experimentation in color drifted outside the gamut possible with traditional
printing techniques. Early illustration lessons still influences Vanessa's art as each work
has a simple focus and careful use of color and light to further direct attention to the
subject of the piece.
Working almost exclusively in acrylic, Vanessa believes that the canvas is where the true
color mixing begins. The colors on her palette are therefore loosely folded together before
being applied. The subject matter itself is often chosen for humor, expressed either as visual
irony or lighthearted observation. It's the sincerest hope that any of the artist's views,
whether they are inspired by the political or otherwise, be apparent only to those who have an
interest in that subject. Otherwise, the piece should stand on its own as an enjoyable
composition. To be so cut and dry with the the subject would mean that the work would fall
firmly in the class of illustration.
