Art

Original artwork that is created in a stunning palette of vibrant blues to coordinate with any coastal home or office space. The Authentic Bleu signature color is BLUE and recognizable in it's branding through ocean life, brilliant blue hues and the style. 

Canvas pieces are painted in Acrylic paint and with an abstract style. Whether a bold blue heron or a modern take on ocean life-there is a "look and style" in the paintings with beautiful tones of blue. Many pieces work together and can create a gallery wall that makes a statement full of ocean life and bold color. 

Beautiful giclee prints on archival, heavy weight paper and original paintings available in many sizes to choose from. Gallery walls can be created with Authentic Bleu by Catherine Armbruster paintings with different sizes, whether framed or canvas unframed pieces. Coastal inspired acrylic paintings using navy blue, turquoise, shades of sky and ocean blues and touches of white.  

"Abstract Albatross" painting shown is an example of my work and is an original. Giclee prints are available in various sizes. Each special giclee print is signed, numbered and can be framed.

Come visit me to see my latest collection of ocean inspired paintings as they are created at Palmer Modern Studios 925 North Lime Avenue, Sarasota, FL. Artist in Residence, sharing separate art studios with 5 other artists and you can purchase artwork and handcrafted pieces as well.

I take plastic single use bottles and containers and turn them into art. They can be used as a vase for flowers, holder for pens/pencils, paint brushes, toiletries for a guest bathroom, etc.  It can be called upcycling, re-cycling, re-purposing or simply "ART". 

One of a kind, up-cycled and beautifully decoupaged containers which would have ended up in the ocean have now been transformed. Each piece is hand made with care and no two are alike. Beautiful ocean themed prints and patterns with stunning blue colors. Blue is my favorite color and the color of the ocean! Once purchased, each container has a message thanking you for saving it from the ocean and enjoying it in your home or office space.

Classes coming soon teaching you how to turn your own plastics into art! 

From the  plastic in the ocean to the wasteful society we all live in- WE all MUST participate in protecting our world. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s  oceans. We must DO SOMETHING. Our world is a blue planet with the oceans covering 3/4 of the earth. Be a protector of the earth and do something to save the ocean from plastic. Either buy Authentic Bleu pieces for your home or office or ask when and where we will offer classes.

Decorated container shown is in Navy pattern with trim in rope and shells found in Sarasota FL. This was previously a water container and NOW a work of art!

DEFINITION OF AUTHENTIC:  Describes something that is real and genuine. 

Our mission is to be Authentic to ourselves and OTHERS. We have an affinity for the Ocean and anything Blue. The Color BLUE genuinely resonates with us and we use it in our original artwork. The messaging is meant to inspire people to give back to the ocean and earth. As we enjoy the beauty of the ocean, we need to participate in saving it and all the marine life from plastic.

WHY- Bleu? Our favorite color and the color of the Ocean, which we are passionate about protecting. Bleu is the French spelling of the color blue. 

Our Favorite Color is BLUE and we want to spread the word about saving the Ocean every chance we get. From the  plastic in the ocean to the wasteful society we all live in- WE all MUST participate in protecting our oceans.
