Aurelia Bizouard

Glass is entirely part of my artistic journey. Using glass as a material was at first a mistake AND appealed to me right away: it was a revelation WHEN ONE DAY I broke a PICTURE frame. I decided to use the part of the glass which remained intact as a canvas. Since then, glass has become part of my everyday life and helps me to create all my artistic desires through intuitive and action painting. It is a practice I call GLASSISM.

Deb Chaney

"The blending and glazing of colours, the scratching and removing of paint to reveal under colours, the embedding of collage ephemera, the use of pencil and conte markings and scribblings all expressions of feelings of the beauty and the pain, the freedom and the frustration, the evolution and sense of being suspended in time, all encompassed in this journey of life. All these paintings are the fragments of my life." Visit the site below to learn more...

Dana Irving

Dana Irving was born in Prince George, BC in 1959. She studied at Douglas College, Victoria College of Art, Vancouver Academy of Art, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and Kwantlen College. Influenced by the painters of the 1930’s and 40’s as well as Canada’s own “Group of Seven”, Dana has travelled extensively across British Columbia and Alberta as well as forays into Ontario and Quebec finding endless inspiration in the Canadian landscape. Her paintings focus on movement and light with a touch of whimsy. "For me as a painter, to interpret the inspiring beauty of the Canadian landscape and present it in my own unique language is enjoyable in itself, but to connect with the viewer in that same language is a thrill beyond measure."

Sonya Iwasiuk

Sonya's art captures the pureness and beauty, as well as the harshness and dark realities of nature, places, people and things that are often never seen or overlooked. Raised in small towns and farms in Northern Alberta, with iconic expansive skies and endless fields sprinkled with deserted homesteads, she developed a love for nature and the abandoned. No wonder she creates her artworks with the jewels of old jars, and tractor parts buried like fossil bones in the dust of top soil. Visit the site below to learn more...

Paul Jorgensen

The whimsical, funky, unusual worlds created by Jorgensen are full of questions, appealing to the child within. His use of bright tropical colours, rudimentary shading, twisted houses, and stretched trees exude a magical sense of the sublime, disguising the level of expertise and training used to create it. In many of his artworks, the entire surface is filled to overflowing with an interlocking puzzle of forms and shapes. Some of these shapes add a visual energy and focus, while others are repeated, making patterns that resemble ploughed fields, winding pathways, and neatly planted gardens.

Jutta Kaiser

"The varying moods of nature are the source of my inspiration. By observing, I create recognizable but imaginary objects or landscapes that translate images and impressions into shapes and colour. I work with Mixed Media to realize my goal - using a myriad of materials to achieve a variety of textures. My palette consists mainly of warm colours, including Acrylide Yellow, Alizarin Crimson and Paynes Grey. By layering many of these in the form of washes, I am able to achieve greater depth of color."

Janna Kumi

My artwork draws inspiration from the function, form and pattern occurring in the small, seemingly insignificant or overlooked components of the natural world. Trees hold a special interest. Among some of the largest organisms on earth, they support life itself by emitting oxygen and are interconnected in amazing ways with the broader ecosystem they inhabit. I focus mostly on tree bark and wood – on its textures and colours, the life forms that find a home there - and to explore the ways trees communicate with their surroundings.

Vanessa's art explores this inner realm, where objects exist both in harmony and in flux. Through the process of layering and collage, her art endeavors to examine the tension of this relationship.

Joel’s main inspiration is the beauty of the West Coast. It seemed a natural progression to express these feelings on canvas. He wants other people to see and experience the West Coast through his paintings with an aim to create a feeling of "being there".

Glenn Payan

In the beginning, Glenn says he was fascinated by the Expressionist and Cubist styles, but became more interested in using their colorful, simple forms in landscapes, particularly through the stylized approaches of Lawren Harris, Emily Carr, AJ Casson, as well as regionalists Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. He describes his art as being 'a caricature of history', memories of the past, devoid of people. "Our minds seem to have a way of caricaturizing our past, picking out the best, most colorful moments.” Visit the site below to learn more...

Lee Roberts

The sculptures I create explore animal and human behaviour. Depictions are articulated through use of bio and industrial repurposed materials including rebar tie wire, conveyor belting offcuts, used bicycle inner tubes, reclaimed flooring, skulls and animal parts. Most of the materials are free and would otherwise be bio-waste or industrial landfill. My work is observational, conceptual and sometimes unconsciously mythological.

I work indoors, mostly. In my studio. I create photos. In order to do that I need to “build” first a mini universe in my studio… I paint and repaint the walls to reflect “time changing”, make sculptures… until the space becomes a little “stage”, I also write lines from my poems on the walls always with the idea of telling a story.

When I look at the white canvas, my mind opens into a new dimension. The creation in transformation into a new life.

We are climbing a mountain and we go through a stage of time and only we will know when we arrive at the other side. I seek to balance material with spiritualism by bringing the elegance of classic art in to play, achieve this in my paintings. Visit the site below to learn more...

David Wilson

"Water, or fluidity, is a pervasive theme that runs through so much of my work. I live in the Pacific Northwest, an area renowned for the unenviable amount of rain that falls each year. In spite of its possible negative connotations, there is a universal appeal to rain soaked city streets that evokes something entirely visceral. Throughout my work, water is implicitly identified either through subject or in the way the paint lies on the surface. It becomes an out of control kaleidoscope of light and colour infused with what we know and what we think we know, or remember."

Ray Ward

There is something dream-like that leads you into a Ray Ward painting. A sense that there is something else, lying just beyond the horizon, which you cannot yet see. Stunning realism given a depth that goes beyond sight; allowing the viewer to experience how the artist feels the scene.

"As a representational painter, I am always trying to balance artistic expression with being truthful to my chosen subject. I think the paintings that most successfully combine these qualities are the ones where technical aspects aren't stumbling blocks, therefore allowing me to focus on capturing what I perceive to be the spirit of a place.
