Haley

Brousseau

My name is Haley brousseau but most folks call me Hoolie and I am a member of the template. 

I’ve doodled as far back as I can remember.  Mostly just pencil on paper.  I loved this but I felt like there was little to be discovered between myself the pencil and paper. I bored of it and stopped creating for a couple Of years. 

And then I found oil paint. 

 I fell in love. Buttery oil color have such life. It breaths and blends at its own accord seemingly with its own desires of creation.

When I stand at my easel, I feel less of an artist and more of a witness to what the paint is willing into life.

And thats how I paint. Haphazardly with little planning and a lot of gasps of 

 “oh shit, this is actually working”

It’s a mixture of exhilaration and peace. 

The process is so deeply nourishing that the outcome just doesn’t matter so much. 

I hope you enjoy
