SPOTLIGHT ARTIST
C: What is your favourite 
part about being an artist?
MRR: My favourite part of paint-
ing is being able to travel to all the 
areas that I can and just painting 
what I see. I like taking photos and 
then painting them on canvas. 
I especially enjoy it when my art 
speaks to people and reminds 
them of a place they once went 
to. Often people ask me to paint 
a photo of their favourite place. 
Most of the commissions I do are 
places that no longer look the 
way they used to, and that’s my 
favourite part of being an artist – 
making their memories last longer 
on canvas.
C: What do you like about 
using acrylic as a medium?
MRR: I like using acrylic as a me-
dium because it has greater colour 
and vibrancy than oils. I like oils 
too, but acrylics give a brighter 
light base, and they don’t smell as 
bad either. Acrylics blend well too, 
when I’m trying to get the right 
colour, that’s really useful. I want 
to make the painting look as real 
as possible. This medium helps 
me blend skies easily so that I can 
capture the clouds in a 3-D like 
manner, like it’s coming out of the 
painting. Acrylics also work well on 
wood and other materials.
