Welcome to Art By Perrine, where every canvas is a page from my diary of colors. My journey into the world of abstract expressionism began as a quest to capture the intangible. I sought to depict the soft whisper of a breeze, the gentle lull of ocean waves, and the silent melody of the light breaking on new hibiscus petals at dawn. It was also a personal escape during a turbulent time. A few years ago, amid the post-Covid world's challenges, I picked up some paints and canvases for an escape. Hours later, I found myself completely immersed, my life’s stressors momentarily forgotten. That day, what started as a diversion blossomed into a profound source of joy. The artwork I created that day now hangs on my wall, a constant reminder of the joy and tranquility that art brings to my life.
As my passion grew and my techniques evolved, I began to share my creations by displaying them at rental properties. The positive attention and requests to purchase my art from guests were affirming—the moment I truly felt like a real artist. Now, I get to share my art, my joy, my creations with the world. Each piece I create is infused with a spectrum of emotions, from the tranquil to the spirited, crafted to resonate with the heartbeats of everyday life.
Drawing inspiration from the contrasting landscapes that surround me, the serene skies and vibrant flora of the Palm Springs Desert, and the soothing beaches of San Diego, my art is a homage to these natural wonders. The desert's mystical sunsets and the ocean's calming tides are my muses, their beauty and rhythm reflected in the pastel hues and dynamic textures of my work.
For the past 20 years, I've been recognized as an entrepreneur by notable outlets like Forbes, Daily Mail, Advocate, ABC and FOX. My entrepreneurial endeavors include remodeling over 20 homes, launching several multi-million dollar businesses, and authoring more than a dozen books. Painting enriches this tapestry as a natural extension, adding depth without diminishing the vibrancy of my ongoing pursuits. I'm following a new passion that I get to share with others.
However, it was the profound personal loss of Riley, my cherished 13-year-old Vizsla, that inspired me to expand my canvas further to include Bereavement Art. This transformative expression was born from heartache when traditional memorialization felt inadequate to capture his spirit. Thus, Bereavement Art was born—a form of art that serves not only as a tribute but also as a modern, visually stunning "urn" for keeping our loved ones eternally close. This special collection, "A Timeless Tribute to Cherished Memories - Transforming Grief into Eternal Beauty," supports a cause close to my heart. I donate 100% of the profits from each Bereavement Art Commission to fund cancer research for dogs and support shelters and senior dog care facilities in Southern California, transforming grief into a force for good and bringing hope and help to many.
