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...

Ross Penhall

His abstracted renderings of light, form and colour offer viewers an interpretation of nature as a calming or grounding entity. Able to recognize and capture the quietude and stillness of open fields, wind swept hills and even urban parks, Penhall's paintings communicate his profound appreciation of the external world.-- Rosalind Rorke
