Justine Schlote

April-May 2023

 Justine grew up  in Squamish. She didn’t have all that much growing up but she had love, nature, pencils and paints.  Justine calls herself an artist since she needs art like she needs to breathe .

Justines creations are mostly multi medium abstract. Mixing poetry with paint. Watercolour,  acrylic,  dreams with darkness and a little bit of razzle-dazzle .

 She puts lines and colours on things like canvas, old pizza boxes, wooden boards from scrap piles among other things she can scavenge. 

Her art is a little skewed and crooked it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s who she is.

”I’m just me in words colors dots and shapes. I just make things cause it flows through me making things with things already made or I like to reuse things that aren’t loved anymore. That’s my light so I’m gonna let it shine!” Everything Justine makes is a little piece of her heart and soul so she finds the light in the dark and lets it burn.
