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...

Chris Charlebois

Chris Charlebois' paintings display a kind of nature-based expressionism, reminescent, in a way, of some of Andrew Wyath's work, but inspired by the West Coast of Canada. "My goal as a painter has always been to simply express. Nature is the source of that expression. I look for the gesture in nature. It is this dominant line of movement and structure that all the elements in a painting will be based upon." Visit the site below to learn more...

Chebry often selects imagery with a mind for the abstract as well as the narrative. The suggestion of a tree, a horse, or some ancient calligraphy, built through layers of texture and translucent colour, creates a sense of mystery to her work. Visit the site below to learn more...

Warren Chiu

Photography is an important part of this artist's creative process. "Translating the photo into a painting," says Chiu, "allows me to modify reality and achieve something beyond what the original photo is able to convey. Employing the medium of oil paints allows me to render realistic paintings of the scenes with subtle blending of shapes and color. Through my brushstrokes, I try to breathe life into each piece and convey the true emotion of the scene." Visit the site below to learn more...

Paul Chizik

"My work focuses on the ability of painting to tell a story through a single image. It has the ability to be cinematic and theatrical and to move one into another realm. The use of light, colour, and texture remains consistent in my work. Sometimes brooding and foreboding, other times light and luminous." Visit the site below to learn more...

He continues to sell his work in galleries in Vancouver, Banff, Victoria, Whistler, Edmonton, Seattle, New York, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. Richard’s work celebrates the vast spaces of Alberta's prairielands and the natural beauty of BC’s West Coast.Change and movement are captured by Richard’s brush in dramatic ways, including the advance of waves on an isolated Pacific shore and their pull on the sand as they retreat, or the shape of the wind in prairie grass. Richard continues to paint landscapes large and small and has been incorporating the luminosity of silver leaf into some of his new work. Recently he has expanded his repertoire by capturing the human figure in giant portraits that reflect the gestures and glances that make up everyday life. Visit the site below to learn more...

Lorn Curry

These pieces represent an ongoing exploration of the constants of life that connect us all as human beings: cherished objects, childhood memories, food, the kitchen and so on."
