Welcome to Ia Crous
Art is an extension of our daily lives. Authentic Abstract Art describes a deep emotional connection. The painting evolves naturally through honest, unique, and personal openness. Expression through color and my own mark-making establishes a meaningful human experience.
Life in Colour
Life in Colour is a virtual exhibition featuring three women abstract artists, Ia Crous, Shelly Pamensky and Natasha Patel.
