Carl Joseph Shinkaruk

Denis Grosjean

Denis' style concentrates on luminous effects, detail and depth. More often than not, admirers of his original works are drawn into the painting, "So much so, you feel like you are there." Consistently, pleasant memories and present aspects of admirers lives are also evoked by Denis' original works.
A self taught fine Artist, Denis went on to sell his earlier works to private collectors within and in the surrounding areas of Pinceville, Quebec, Canada. These earlier works were of bold strokes with heavy paint which he still paints but are not the focus of his creativity. In fact, landscapes including water, abstracts and western scenes (which have been complimentary mistaken for C. Russell) are Denis' most gratifying creations.
Throughout the years, Denis' original works have been shown in Canadian Art galleries located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Alex Fong

Alex Fong's early artwork reflected a traditional oriental technique. As his talents flourished, Alex Fong developed a personal style that has since become his hallmark. Alex Fong's watercolor paintings are a kaleidoscope of light and colour - a bouquet of wonder and whimsy. The sense of delight that accompanies them, draws the viewer in for a closer look. His translucent, impressionistic watercolor paintings are distinguished by a parade of coloured flecks that he calls "confetti", to represent his celebration of life. The result is an exquisite balance in his watercolor paintings of spontaneity and grace. Though Alex's artistic vision continues to evolve, his watercolor artwork reflects a fresh and youthful outlook.

Jack Grundle

Canadian Artist Jack Grundle, "After art school, I spent time as an artist for the B.C. Electric Company, then some free-lance time as a commercial artist, then eventually wound up as art director and creative director at the Vancouver office of Canada's largest advertising agency. I finally tired of the commercial end, and started up a wildlife magazine. For some years, as well as being the publisher and editor, I made time to do cover paintings and story illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed this period. Now the things I had been avidly learning in the past few years became a way of making a living, and I began painting and selling original wildlife studies. During this time I created about 30 paintings each year and sold virtually all of them. This was achieved through one-man shows, commissions, and even walk-ins. I also sold paintings to various corporations and the B.C. Government."

Patricia Guzmán

I love to paint animals such as horses, dogs and wild ones; but not only animals, also portraits of different type of people, of different culture.
I think there is always something to learn about painting; to me books are my best teachers because they don't influence my vision that much. They teach me about technique, about painters' lifes, etc., but they don't tell me how a thing must be because we all see life and painting in a different way, what I think and feel cannot be tought. As a painter I believe to seek for the truth, to paint themes that have something special, that makes me shake, not for money or not to produce as an assembly line.

Brent Heighton

Canadian artist Brent Heighton's artwork has won him numerous awards throughout Canada and the U.S. But the important thing is, as Brent Heigthton points out is not the art awards, it's how it makes you feel putting your feelings on paper or canvas so that the persons observing can experience the joy you had in painting that particular artwork. "If you can make that connection with someone it feels great inside," he says."Art is one of the few things in today's world that is completely personal and original and expresses what a person is. It can inspire feeling, expression and passion in others. That's the intrinsic value of art." Canadian artist Brent Heighton's watercolors and oils have been well received by many corporate and private collectors in over 25 countries of the world. Brent Heighton has had art exhibitions in New York, Tokyo, Germany, Belgium, Holland, many parts of the U.S.and most recently Cabo San lucas, Mexico.

Andrew Kiss

A lover of the outdoors, Canadian artist Andrew Kiss often captures his subjects on film and then uses those photographs as a springboard for his imagination, combining the elements of many photos as reference material to form his art composition. A recent expedition to Africa found the British Columbia artist packing more weight in camera equipment than everything else combined. His safari into Kenya and Tanzania was captured in over 7,000 photos and years of materials for his internationally recognized paintings. Canadian artist Andrew Kiss paints animals, birds, floral paintings, nature paintings.
