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.

Corrinne Wolcoski

Inspired by the West Coast and its many incredible cloud formations, my paintings are a direct response to the silent beauty of light penetrating the darkness which brings a sense of calmness to all it envelops. Traveling along the coast has provided an endless source of material from which I create my landscape paintings. The West Coast is stunning and a few of my most treasured places are along the Sea to Sky Highway. Visit the site below to learn more...
