Brenda Banda Johnson
“With my palette knife, loads of acrylic paint and thick gel mediums I attempt to capture the depth and textures of nature that intrigue me.”
Karen Biko
“I love colour and I love expressing movement through my paintings. Each one creates itself on the paper and canvas.”
Holly Burghardt
“My work reflects the value of the moment, the richness of nature, the power of imagery, and the joy of discovering hidden beauty.”
Gerardo Carsolio
“Through the use of wood as my canvas, I delve into the innate beauty of this material, harmonizing the hues, grains, and textures to achieve a balanced composition that unfolds in an unexpected and captivating manner.”
Connie Geerts
“My style of painting has led me to contemplate the idea that we, and everything around us are made of vibrating particles. ”
Terri Heinrichs
“White space, negative space, the in-between.
In art, without the in-between, there would be no recognizable image.
Cynthia Makara
“I am a figurative artist, my paintings are peaceful and relaxing, they tell the glory of the sky and it’s magnificence. I love texture and explore the volume of the material.”
Alison Philpotts
“I am an expressionistic painter, specializing in landscapes. When I paint, it’s like a deep meditation for me, where I shut my brain down, and open my heart.”
Leslie Starr
“My life as an artist has come full circle and I am very grateful to be at this point in my artistic journey.”
Darren Umbsaar
“I strive to capture the grandeur and wonder of the Canadian Rockies; there are endless combinations of light and colour to explore the mountains.”
Sharon Lynn Williams
“My goal and ambition is to bring beauty and peace into people’s homes through my art, and to offer the life-giving joy of creation to my art students.”
New Guest Artists – Spring 2025
Suzanne LeBlanc
“My work as an abstract artist allows me to explore, to play, and to express my emotions through movement and colour.”
Rachelle Brady
“My inspiration comes from the things that I am drawn to and feel a connection with. My paintings are designed to evoke emotion, radiate contentment, and bring happiness.”
Linnea Martina Hannigan
“My work is about the movement, manipulation and responding to colour transformations and the pigment itself. Ultimately, it seeks to reframe watercolour within the context of contemporary art, challenging preconceived notions of what this medium can achieve.”
Past Guest Artists – Fall 2024
Kimberly Cook
Inspired by the ephemeral and pure beauty of fresh flowers and blossoms, her work leaves the viewer feeling grounded and peaceful.
Amanda Crozier
A contemporary representational painter who can easily cover the artistic gamut of lightly representational landscapes to realistic portraits.
Nicole Geoffrion
“I am in love with colours and attracted by designs made with lines, shapes and forms. I am the most happy when people find their own story within my imaginary scenes and creations.”
Leslie Starr
“My life as an artist has come full circle and I am very grateful to be at this point in my artistic journey.”
Past Guest Artists – Spring 2024
Linda Wilder
“Art is a way of life and I create 24 hours a day…maybe not always holding a brush, but by seeing, thinking and feeling.”
Keith Dalgleish
“I view my art as physical recordings that document my relationship with Nature. My loose colourful brush strokes join and overlap to create and reveal a heartfelt expression of the subject.”
Past Guest Artists – Fall 2023
Terry Kruse
“It was when I let the paint flow and blend that I was truly able to express the joy and freedom I was missing in other forms of art. ”
